Where investigators get ahead of the tech.
Three days in San Antonio built around AI workflows, crypto-asset tracing, decoy-app forensics, and the tools already showing up in your casework. 20 speakers. 22 CE hours. One room block that won't last.
The field moved. This is how you keep up.
Built for right now, not five years ago
AI-assisted workflows, decoy-app forensics, IoT evidence, crypto tracing, genetic genealogy, TSCM sweeps — every session answers something your clients are already asking.
Faculty who've done it
U.S. Secret Service, military intelligence, and federal law enforcement veterans — teaching what they actually did, not theory.
22 CE hours, no extra trip
Knock out your continuing education while you're there — plus up to 8 more at Thursday's TILT training.
Real networking, not a reception
12+ built-in hours — a welcome reception, a River Walk cocktail cruise, and a closing gala with awards and a live auction.
A taste of what's ahead
Swipe through a few flagship sessions. The full three-day schedule lives on the conference page.
Practical AI integration for research, reports, and case management — without replacing investigative judgment.
Detecting and extracting evidence from vault apps disguised as calculators and other everyday tools.
How blockchain actually moves illicit funds, and the free and paid tools to trace it.
Turning open-source data into actionable leads, drawn from real operational casework.
Real claim stories and the new AI exclusions carriers are quietly adding to E&O policies.
20 experts. Zero filler.
