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.
Why give it a whole day
A webinar is forty minutes you forget by Monday. A day in a room of 500 people who applied to be there is different.
- 01
Long enough to learn, not just hear about it
Talks run long enough to show the method end to end, with the dead ends left in. You leave able to do the thing, not only name it.
- 02
A room the size of a good conference
Five hundred people from investigations, journalism, security, and research, all of whom asked to be there. The questions are as good as the talks.
- 03
The stage is open to you
Every edition has open slots. If you learned something the hard way, you can teach it next month.

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 500 people for 8 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 500 people.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is OSINT Collective really free?
Yes. There is no ticket price, no paid tier, and nothing to buy on the day. Supporters help cover costs and stay off the stage.
Who can come to Nov'26?
Nov'26 is open to everyone. Investigators, journalists, analysts, students, and anyone who works with open sources. This edition is not limited to one kind of work. Some later editions may focus on one kind of work; the edition page always says.
What time is it where I am?
Nov'26 runs 10:00–19:00 GMT on Saturday 28 November 2026. The page shows the same hours in your local time, and the calendar invite you get with a confirmed seat adjusts to your time zone.
How do I get a confirmed seat?
Sign in and apply in one click to get a ticket code. Add a Twitter profile, a Twitter username, or a LinkedIn profile URL. A person looks at it and confirms the seat by email, with a calendar invite attached.
Why do you ask for a profile?
To tell people from bots without a captcha or a payment. Only you can see the profile on your OSINTverse profile; it is never shown to other attendees.
What happens at 500 seats?
We stop confirming at 500 so the room stays good. The page then shows a waitlist. Join it in one click and we confirm a seat the moment one opens.
Can I give a talk?
Yes, every edition has open slots. Email hi@osintverse.com with a working title and three lines on what people will be able to do afterwards. Talks that end in a product pitch are not accepted.
What is the gift?
Something for every confirmed seat on the day. We announce it before the room opens, not as a reason to apply.
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.
