The autumn every investigator should plan for

The 2026 autumn season is the densest run of investigator events in years. Between 1 September and mid-October, the calendar counts conferences on four continents — here is the season at a glance.

The month opens with the double-header: WAD's 101st annual conference in Cannes and the CII AGM in Prague, both 1–6 September. Atlanta takes over mid-month with Secure Horizons (12–13) rolling straight into GSX, the Global Security Exchange (14–16) — the same week the ACFE holds its Anti-Fraud Conference Africa in Johannesburg (14–16).

Then it accelerates: FALI-U in Tampa on the 16th, the first D.A.CH Forum in Lochau, Austria (17–19), an advanced intelligence tradecraft intensive in Sydney (21–25), and the 2026 TALI Conference in San Antonio (24–26).

The second Congreso CODEGA lands in La Coruña, 3–4 October — Spain's contribution to the season.
