Dear all,

The event will be hosted on the 14th- 16th October. Location TBC

Inside X is a Home Office-funded initiative and this year it will be delivered by the Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE), in partnership with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), Forensic Capability Network (FCN), and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC).

This innovation event aims to generate new knowledge, identify capability gaps, and inform future strategies for digital forensics in law enforcement. It will bring together DF practitioners, academic experts, and private sector innovators to explore emerging technologies that can enhance operational outcomes and improve technical capabilities across policing.

Previous InsideX events have successfully explored topics such drone forensics and artificial intelligence in digital forensic investigations, providing valuable insights and fostering collaboration across the community.

• A networking dinner
• Refreshments and lunch provided daily
• A unique opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of digital forensics
• Collaboration and networking with other DF practitioners, and experts from academia and industry
• The opportunity to research, experience challenges with advanced data analytics, and develop your understanding of new technologies
