The conference had a lot of great, useful information. I particularly enjoyed the classes on Wednesday and Thursday regarding hybrid gangs, OSINT, gang prosecutions, and task forces. The classes on runes and religion, and the dark web and crypto, were also surprisingly intriguing; I didn't realize the extent to which those things were intertwined with organized crime groups. Overall, I thought the conference had a little bit of something for everyone involved with combating gangs and organized crime and I would recommend it.
