10-11 September 2026 | Sydney, Australia
We’re back for the 7th Annual Australian OSINT Symposium, 10–11 September at the Hilton in Sydney. Join a global community of practitioners to share tradecraft, exchange ideas and strengthen how OSINT supports real-world decisions.
The Australian OSINT Symposium (AOS) is OSINT Combine’s flagship event, bringing together practitioners, decision-makers and innovators from government, defense, law enforcement, corporate security and academia. Since its founding, AOS has focused on strengthening collaboration and professional development across the OSINT community—exploring how OSINT is applied ethically and effectively to address complex challenges, from local investigations and public safety through to national security.
AOS2026 is centered on Decision Advantage with OSINT—how open-source intelligence supports timely, defensible and actionable decisions in complex environments. Through practitioner-led sessions, case studies and open discussion, AOS explores what it takes to move OSINT beyond collection and into impact, strengthening the capability required to operate with clarity and confidence.

AOS2026 is designed for those serious about how open-source intelligence is applied—through tradecraft, collaboration and shared experience.

Training for Decision Advantage
Alongside the in-person Symposium, we deliver a global Decision Advantage with OSINT Training Series: four virtual sessions designed to extend learning into applied capability.
Running from July through September, the series explores how OSINT is used in practice—from collection and data integrity through to working with and against AI, and tracking activity across dynamic environments. Open to practitioners worldwide, it connects a global OSINT community and is available regardless of AOS attendance.
Topics and session times are available on the home page.
