5 Reasons to Attend the C2C User Summit 2026
Mark your calendars! The Cellebrite C2C User Summit 2026 is happening April 13–17, 2026 in Washington, D.C. The world of digital investigations is constantly evolving: techniques change, tools advance and staying on top of your game is crucial. This event is the perfect opportunity to hone your skills and connect with industry leaders—all in one place.
Here’s what last year’s participants had to say:
Let’s break it down to the five reasons you can’t miss this year’s event:
Honoring Your Hard Work
Recognition matters—and we make sure the important work you and your peers are doing gets the spotlight it deserves through our Digital Justice Awards (JUSTYS). As our CEO Tom Hogan said at last year’s ceremony:
“Listen to these stories and get goosebumps—and in some cases come to tears. They’re doing it because they really, really care. Those are the people who deserve this kind of recognition.”
This year, we’re thrilled to open the awards ceremony to all summit attendees with a full-scale gala celebration. It’s our way of honoring professionals who are going above and beyond and making communities safer, strengthening teams and redefining what’s possible. The JUSTYS aren’t just about spotlighting a few individuals, they’re a collective celebration of your impact and dedication.
Connect With Your Community
One of the most powerful reasons to attend the C2C Summit is the people you meet. This is your community: professionals who live and breathe your mission, face your challenges, and strive for better outcomes.
“You get to know what your peers are working on, so you just have to stop by,” says Geraldine Blay, describing how spontaneous conversations lead to real insights. “I’ve been able to meet a lot of my mentors that I look up to,” adds Sean Taylor.
Whether it’s getting answers to your toughest questions from industry leaders or forming connections that turn into collaborations, the relationships you build here will stay with you long after the summit ends.
A Blockbuster Lineup of Speakers
“You’re bringing experts not to talk about the product so much, but to come together as a community,” says Rob Fried, and that’s exactly what makes the C2C Summit unique.
We’ve curated an agenda that goes beyond demos to tackle real issues facing the community. From the latest innovations in tech (yes, we’ll be talking AI) to in-depth case studies and wellness-focused sessions, the lineup is designed to inform, inspire and empower. Get ready to hear from the best in the field and walk away with knowledge that truly makes a difference.
Training That Moves You Forward
This year’s summit offers a range of training sessions, both free and paid, with substantial discounts for attendees. In a field where technology advances daily, ongoing education isn’t just a plus – it’s essential. Don’t get left behind. Sharpen your skills and learn how to get the most out of the tools that help you solve cases faster and more effectively.
