OScon ’26

OScon is back – and this year, we’re going bigger!

After an amazing first edition last year, we’re thrilled to announce OScon 2026, the second edition of the OSINT Conference in Switzerland.
This year, we’re going full-day, bringing the OSINT community together again for a day of learning, discovery, and connection.

📍 Friday, 30 October 2026
🏛️ Volkshaus Zürich
🕘 09:00–17:00, followed by networking

We’re incredibly proud to bring internationally recognised OSINT experts to Zürich!

It’s a unique opportunity to learn directly from leading practitioners and connect with them in person. Here are the first three speakers and talks we’re excited to announce:

▸Sofia Santos
Hiding in Plain Sight – Tiny Details, Big Conclusions

In this digital age saturated with fast paced data, the ability to pause and notice details is often overlooked. The need to be the first to uncover or report something, coupled with the availability of OSINT tools that promise to solve all of our problems, has the potential of leading people to miss what is right in front of them.
This session aims to explore how attention to detail and critical thinking are crucial skills in open source investigations.
Through expert advice, real examples, and a few engaging exercises along the way,
attendees will learn practical techniques to improve their analytical process, avoid common pitfalls, and approach data with greater confidence and curiosity.
The session is designed to be accessible to beginners whilst still offering useful reminders and techniques for experienced investigators.

▸Skip Schiphorst
Beyond Translation: Analytical Techniques for Chinese, Russian and Arabic Sources

AI has transformed how analysts collect and translate information from foreign sources, but it cannot replace human judgment. Understanding context, assessing credibility, identifying bias, and producing actionable intelligence remain fundamentally human skills.

▸Yoni
The Untapped Intelligence of Infostealer Logs: Reverse Searching for Advanced OSINT

Infostealer logs have rapidly become one of the richest sources of publicly circulating digital intelligence, yet they remain underused within the OSINT community. This presentation explores how infostealer data can be transformed into a powerful investigative resource by approaching it from the opposite direction: instead of searching for a compromised victim, investigators can pivot from known identifiers to uncover hidden relationships, accounts, infrastructure, and digital footprints. Through practical demonstrations, attendees will learn how reverse searches can be performed using IP addresses, email addresses, usernames, passwords, domains, and websites to identify additional accounts, recover forgotten online identities, map infrastructure, attribute digital assets, and build stronger intelligence profiles. Whether supporting cyber investigations, fraud cases, or traditional OSINT enquiries, infostealer datasets provide a unique perspective that complements conventional intelligence sources and often reveals information unavailable anywhere else.

And this is just the beginning.
More speakers and talks will be announced soon!
