Description:

As North America prepares to host the FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics, and other scale events like music festivals, sporting championships, and cultural gatherings that draw massive crowds, law enforcement and security teams are entering a high-stakes environment where visibility and timing are critical.

The reality: many of the earliest indicators of risk surface online before they happen on-site. Threats, misinformation, logistical disruptions, fraud, crowd sentiment, and reputational risks often emerge in digital spaces first, shaping what unfolds on the ground.

This webinar explores how law enforcement and security teams can use open-source intelligence for pre-event planning, real-time awareness during, and support post-event investigations. Using real-world scenarios, we’ll walk through how to identify early warning signs, filter signal from noise at scale, and support faster, more confident decision-making throughout the event lifecycle.
