*The scope of modern investigations has grown rapidly over the past decade. Traditional social media and background checks, surveillance and interviews are no longer the only tools at a professional’s disposal, yet traditional investigative patterns persist. This session utilizes real-world case examples to teach essential principles behind the methodology and technology of geosocial and geospatial investigations, device forensics, location tracking, video and imagery upscaling, international investigations, and complex surveillance operations. The session then describes how to leverage these capabilities to maximum effect in a legally robust manner. The audience will learn these advanced investigative solutions are far more accessible and affordable than they believe.

Jack Matero is a National Account Manager at DigiStream Investigations. In this position, Jack focuses on building and maintaining strong client relationships, ensuring that DigiStream’s investigative services are tailored to meet every client’s needs. Before stepping into this role, he worked as a Surveillance Investigator at DigiStream, developing a comprehensive understanding of investigative techniques and operations. Jack was recognized as the “Investigator of the Year” in 2023 for his outstanding performance and contributions to the company. Jack holds a BA from Manhattanville University.

OIAA Hamilton's Annual Bowling Bash! - POSTPONED!
2023-03-09 17:30 - 20:30 UTC | Splitsville Burlington, 830 Laurentian Dr, Burlington, Ontario, L7N 3V6, Canada
Due to weather, our annual Bowling Bash event for February 23, 2023, has been postponed.
We have considered the weather advisories in place, with forecasts of more freezing rain/drizzle later this afternoon and into this evening and believe the prudent decision is to postpone the event. Travelling today continues to be reported as challenging and possibly dangerous in some areas and we do not want anyone to feel pressured to attend an event in those conditions.
However, we are happy to have confirmed with Splitsville a new date for this event as Thursday, March 9, 2023! Anyone who is no longer able to attend on the new date will be provided with a full refund.
Please email Laura O’Hearn, Vice President/Treasurer at laura@maxwellclaims.net with any questions or concerns.
