US OSINT Symposium 2026
Description
OSINT Combine's inaugural US OSINT Symposium builds upon the success of our long running Australian OSINT Symposium. We believe in events that offer a unique opportunity for collaboration and learning. Whether you’re an intelligence and/or security professional, military, policymaker, or tech enthusiast, this symposium provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with thought leaders from around the globe, network with peers, and stay up-to-date with open-source intelligence (OSINT) innovation.
Our theme, Decision Advantage with OSINT, focuses on how open-source insight is translated into timely, defensible and actionable decisions. The symposium showcases real-world examples of cutting-edge OSINT capability in action, helping organizations and individuals identify untapped OSINT opportunities to help make the world a safer place!
The US OSINT Symposium will be held at the National Union Building, Washington D.C. We kick-off with a networking reception between 5:30-8pm on Wednesday August 5th and then host a full day of expert-led discussions, presentations, networking and learning on Thursday August 6th, 8:30am - 4:30pm.
This is an in-person event only and presentations will not be recorded.
Symposium Virtual Training Series
Alongside our in-person symposium, we’re delivering a global Decision Advantage Virtual Training Series—four virtual sessions designed to extend learning into applied capability. The series runs across the symposium period and is open to practitioners worldwide, connecting participants from Australia, the United States and beyond. Each session is run twice to accommodate different timezones.
You can bundle your symposium ticket with the virtual training series, purchase tickets for all four training sessions, or just select the sessions that take your fancy! See all options at checkout.
