AIPIO Intelligence Conference 2026

The Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers (AIPIO) is Australia’s peak body for intelligence practitioners across national security, law enforcement, defence, and government. Its national conference, Intelligence 2026 (26–28 August), gathers the profession under the theme “Intelligence in Action: Strategy to Delivery,” with keynotes from agency leaders and sessions on AI-assisted analysis, OSINT, and cross-agency partnerships.

It’s a chance to benchmark practice, hear directly from those shaping the profession, and build the partnerships that turn insight into action. Dataminr is proud to return as a Gold Sponsor and will be exhibiting throughout the conference — come visit our stand and join our session to see how AI-powered real-time intelligence helps analysts move from reactive monitoring to proactive, mission-ready decisions.

The Intelligence Engine: Driving Operational Impact with Agentic and Predictive AI

Location: 27 August – 12:10 – 12:40 – Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, Melbourne, Australia

Speaker: Dan Pearce, VP Public Sector

For analysts and OSINT practitioners, the challenge is no longer finding data, but delivering impact. To bridge the gap from Strategy to Delivery, intelligence units must evolve from reactive monitoring to proactive delivery powered by Predictive and Agentic AI.

Daniel Pearce (Dataminr) explores how autonomous agents are transforming analysts from data processors into strategic commanders. Drawing on 20 years in UK Counter-Terrorism and law enforcement, Dan demonstrates “Human-on-the-loop” workflows where AI reasons and corroborates signals in real-time. Attendees will learn the art of the possible to move beyond manual triage toward high-value analysis that anticipates potential next steps of a crisis before they escalate. Discover the role of integrating predictive signals into operations to achieve mission success at the speed of relevance.
