About Connected i2 Nordics

Join us in September 2026 for Connected i2 Nordics in Malmö, Sweden, bringing together the Nordic i2 community across operational, technical and leadership roles.

The event is invite only and places are limited. 

View the agenda below.

Who should attend?

This event is designed for professionals who need to turn complex, high-volume information into decisions that stand up to scrutiny.

You will benefit from attending if your role involves:

  • Intelligence analysis, investigations, threat assessment or fraud detection
  • Managing, deploying or supporting i2 from an IT or technical perspective
  • Setting strategy, improving analytical standards or driving operational performance at a leadership level

The event brings together practitioners, IT specialists and senior decision makers to share practical approaches to:

  • Strengthening cross-border collaboration
  • Increasing the value delivered from i2 deployments
  • Improving the quality and consistency of analytical outputs

What you will experience

Across two days, the programme combines practical sessions focused on analytical workflows, technical enablement and real-world use of i2.

You can expect a mix of:

  • Applied analysis techniques and investigative approaches
  • Sessions on managing and supporting i2 from an IT perspective
  • Customer-led examples covering operational and commercial use cases
  • Interactive discussions, demonstrations and shared problem-solving

Time is built in for questions and peer exchange, helping you connect each session to your own priorities and challenges.

You can shape your time around the sessions most relevant to your responsibilities, whether that is advanced analysis, technical delivery or commercial and financial investigations.

Venue and travel

The event takes place at Clarion Hotel Malmö Live, a central conference venue with multiple meeting rooms, breakout spaces and on-site restaurants and bars, making it easy to continue conversations between sessions.

The first day concludes with evening networking at the venue’s Skybar, providing a relaxed setting to continue discussions and build relationships with peers from across the region.

Malmö is easy to reach from across the region, with strong rail connections and nearby international air routes. Many travellers choose to fly into Copenhagen Airport and take the direct train to Malmö, which is quick and straightforward.

What you will leave with

By the end of Connected i2 Nordics, you will leave with:

  • Practical ideas for improving analytical consistency, investigative pace and operational outcomes
  • Approaches you can apply across your workflows, data and technical environment
  • A clearer understanding of the latest i2 developments and how they support operational, technical and strategic needs
  • Greater confidence in how to manage, support or scale i2 within your organisation
  • New connections across the Nordic i2 community, as well as with i2 Management and subject matter experts
