They share why the C2C Summit focuses on practitioner-led talks rather than product pitches, what made the first event such a success, and what\u2019s planned for the next gathering \u2014 including expanded training and a keynote from Terry Crews. The discussion also dives into how they design complex CTFs, why intentionally frustrating questions teach critical thinking, and how their mobile forensics analysis helped reveal behavioural patterns, intent, and attempts to hide activity in the Idaho murders investigation. They finish by exploring the future of investigations and AI \u2014 from cautious, evidence-bounded implementations to the importance of validation and avoiding confirmation bias.
