TraffickTrace '25

This is not your normal OSINT event!

USC Upstate's Upstate Crime Analysis Center and Upstate Underground are bringing together data analysts, law enforcement professionals, human rights advocates, students, and survivors to make the internet unsafe for anyone profiting from human trafficking. Participants of all skill levels are welcome.

Teams of volunteers will scour the web to identify human trafficking suspects and provide leads to participating law enforcement agencies. Come learn about human trafficking from a variety of experts and get hands-on experience in the world of open-source investigations!

This live, 2-day event in Greenville, SC is open to adults 18+ and involves the use of OSINT (open-source intelligence) tools to track down leads on trafficking victims. The event will run live on USC Upstate's Greenville Campus (225 S. Pleasantburg Dr, Greenville, SC 29607) from 8:30-5 on Nov. 13, 2025 and from 8:30-1 on Nov. 14, 2025.

Registration is $150 for both days and includes all training and participation costs, plus drinks, snacks, and lunch on the first day.
