Time: 12:30 – 1:30 PM – lunch will be served
Location: W Hotel – Indigo C on the 5th floor, conveniently just a 10 min walk from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. 

Join Flashpoint for an exclusive 60-minute deep dive into the systems and strategies powering our Virtual Intelligence Operations Platform and Collections Engine.

You’ll get a firsthand look at how we collect and deliver primary-source intelligence from the surface, deep, and dark web—including closed and illicit communities. We’ll walk you through the multi-tiered architecture that combines proprietary tech, AI, and human expertise to scale intelligence operations.

What you’ll learn:

• How Collections Actually Work: Go behind the curtain of our Scraper Management System, Anti-Bot APIs, and Persona & Attribution Management.

• Coverage Without Gaps: Learn how we access open and closed forums, encrypted chat platforms, dark web marketplaces, social media, and credential dumps—mapped to your intelligence priorities.
• Threat Intel That Scales: Discover how we maintain persistent, compliant access in high-risk communities across regions such as China, Russia, and Iran.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the experts running our global collections operation—and walk away with a deeper understanding of how to scale your threat intelligence program.
