Seats open
01
People teach what they know
Every talk is a method, a case, or a lesson that cost the speaker something to learn. Theory stays short; the work is the point.
02
Nobody sells from the stage
No product pitches and no sponsor slots inside the talks. If a talk ends with a sign-up link, it was not accepted.
03
A person confirms every seat
You add a Twitter or LinkedIn profile and we look at it. It keeps bots out and keeps the room a room.
04
It stays free
No ticket price, now or later. Supporters help cover the day and their logos stay off the stage.
This month
One edition at a time. The current one is open; the next is announced to the room on the day.

6 slots open. Teach something you know.
The stage is for people who do the work. You do not need a title, a company, or a slide template.
- A method you actually use, shown end to end
- A case you can walk through, with the dead ends left in
- A lesson that cost you something to learn
Not a fit: anything that ends with a product, a price, or a sign-up link.
Email a working title and three lines on what people will be able to do after your talk. We reply to everyone.
Propose a talkHow the Collective works
One edition a month
Each is named by its month, like Oct'26. Same rules every time, a new group of people and talks.
Some months have a focus
An edition may centre on one kind of work. Oct'26 is open to everyone.
Five hundred seats, then a waitlist
We stop confirming at 500 so the room stays good. After that the page shows the waitlist and we confirm seats as they open.
Online, eight hours, your time zone shown
Times are published in GMT. The page and your calendar invite show them in your local time.
What keeps the day free
Three things make a free day possible. You can be part of two of them.
A gift for everyone in the room
Every confirmed seat gets something on the day. We announce what it is before the room opens, never as a reason to apply.
Help cover the day
Hosting five hundred people for eight hours costs money. If you or your company want to help, email us. Supporters are thanked once, and their logos stay off the talks.
Help run the day
Moderate the room, keep time, welcome people, and chase the speaker who is late. A few hours of your Saturday for a better one for five hundred people.
FAQ
Questions, answered
What is OSINT Collective?
One day a month, people who do OSINT teach what they know. Nothing is sold from the stage. It runs online for 8 hours, is free, and is capped at 500 seats that a person confirms.
How often does it run?
Once a month. Each edition is named by its month and announced here and by email to confirmed seats of the previous one.
Do I need to be an expert?
No. Editions that are open to everyone welcome beginners, and the talks are chosen to teach, not to impress. If an edition has a focus, the page says so.
Is anything sold during the day?
No. Nobody sells from the stage, sponsor logos stay off the talks, and there is no upsell afterwards.
How is this different from OSINTCon?
OSINTCon is our yearly conference and its recordings. The Collective is the monthly room: smaller, more hands-on, and built around people teaching each other.
Take a seat this month
Oct'26 is open to everyone, on Saturday 31 October 2026. 500 seats, free, confirmed by a person.
