Columbus OSINT and AI: Mining Data Insights

Sun, Sep 27, 6:00 PM
From Open Source Intelligence and Machine Learning

We are getting together to talk about the intersection of open source intelligence and machine learning. This meetup is designed for practitioners, researchers, and anyone curious about how AI tools are changing the way we collect, analyze, and verify data. The goal is to move past the theory and share practical approaches for mining insights in an increasingly noisy digital landscape. Whether you are a seasoned analyst or just starting to experiment with these technologies, this is a space to exchange ideas and troubleshoot common challenges. We will keep the format informal, focusing on open conversation and peer-to-peer learning rather than a formal presentation. If you have been working on a project or have a specific technique you have been testing, feel free to bring it up. We look forward to seeing everyone in person and building out our local community here in Columbus. If you think you can make it, please go ahead and RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount for the space.
