Fivecast Illuminate is coming to a city near you in February and March 2027.
This in-person event series runs across three continents. This year’s theme, Hidden in Plain Sight, explores how threat indicators of espionage, foreign influence, fraud, insider threat, and more are often already in the open online, and how teams are finding them faster. It puts the analysts and investigators running open source intelligence (OSINT) operations across the public and commercial sectors in the same room as the leaders who back their calls.
Where other gatherings talk about what OSINT could do, Illuminate is built around what it already does for government agencies, law enforcement, and commercial organizations.
One closed-door series. Three continents. three cities.
Arlington, London and Canberra.
