Description

Our 18th Annual Symposium—Gangs, Guns, and Radicalization—will be hosted virtually on February 12th and 13th, 2026!

After almost two impactful decades of the Gangs & Guns conference, we are proud to expand the scope of this year’s symposium to integrate the evolving threat of radicalization. We will continue to address safety and digital risks that influence individuals progressing along the pathway to violence. Explore current trends and best practice in prevention, intervention, and enforcement.

Leading the international conversation on violence prevention, we will explore the connection between online radicalized communities and worrisome behaviors, highlighting key patterns, warning signs, and digital leakage examples for Safety and Threat Assessment teams.

Attendees will gain innovative strategies, valuable tools and resources, and actionable insights from internationally recognized speakers and experts. Check back soon for the complete Agenda and Speaker lineup!

Topics include:

  • Gang Reduction Through Informed Practice (GRIP®)
  • Updates and changes to the current gang landscape, including recent gang case studies and analysis for sustainable case management strategies
  • Developing a community-focused approach to developing response plans for gang-associated behaviors
  • Utilizing Digital Threat Assessment®, the Behavioral & Digital Threat Assessment® model, cyberbullying prevention, and trauma-informed practices in prevention efforts
  • Applying Digital Threat Assessment® (DTA) strategies to identify gang-associated individuals online and use real-time data to disrupt gang pathways
