The weekly briefing for the week of 2026-08-31.

The season opens tomorrow. WAD's congress runs in Cannes from 1–6 September, the CII holds its AGM in Prague across the same week, and the SNARP AGM follows in Cannes on Wednesday the 2nd. After a quiet August, that is three events in one week.
If you are travelling to any of them, mark yourself as attending on the event page before you go — it is the quickest way to find out who else will be in the room. And if you would send us a photo or a few lines while you are there, we will put it in front of the profession.
Two new dates on the calendar this week. The PBSA Annual Conference lands in Arlington, Texas on 27–29 September, and OffshoreAlert brings its London conference to the calendar for 30 November–1 December.
After this week the pace holds. Secure Horizons opens in Atlanta on the 12th, then GSX and the ACFE's Africa conference both land on 14–16 September, and FALI-U follows in Tampa on the 16th. The last week of the month brings TALI in San Antonio and NALI Region II in Detroit, both on the 24th.
The World Association of Detectives opens its 2026 congress in Cannes tomorrow, running through to the 6th — six days that start the busiest stretch of the investigator calendar. The SNARP AGM follows in the same city on Wednesday.
