CrimeCon, the world’s leading true crime event, is returning to Glasgow this April with a lineup of leading experts to discuss all things true crime.
True crime enthusiasts, survivors, criminologists, authors, podcasters, and law enforcement will come together to share their stories in a curious, supportive, and caring environment.
Partnering with leading factual entertainment channel and true crime destination, TRUE CRIME, the one-day programme also features documentary makers, investigative journalists, and popular podcasters in a day of outstanding content.
This year, notable guest speakers include Dr Richard Shepherd, one of the UKs leading forensic pathologists who will be talking through some of the most complex cases of his career, as well as best-selling author and forensic psychologist, Kerry Daynes.
Also joining the lineup this year, is freelance journalist and PR Consultant Penny Farmer, who will be talking about the forty-year search for her brother’s killer as documented in her book ‘Dead in the Water’ and the award-winning BBC podcast ‘Paradise’.
For the first time in Scotland, attendees will be able to take part in analysing a crime scene too, following a new partnership between CrimeCon UK and Think Forensic.
The interactive CSI experience, a huge hit from both Las Vegas and London CrimeCon events, will be in Glasgow for the first time. Armed with fingerprint brushes and torches, attendees will be able to lift fingerprints and be put through their paces by expert criminologists and crime scene investigators.
Nancy Baughen, Event Director of CrimeCon UK, said: “CrimeCon Glasgow is a key event on the CrimeCon UK calendar now. We are bringing the most comprehensive and compelling true crime event in the UK back to Glasgow to our engaged and incredibly empathetic supporters.”
CrimeCon Glasgow, in partnership with True Crime, takes place on Saturday 27 April at Hilton Glasgow, 1 William Street, G3 8HT. For more information or to book tickets, visit the CrimeCon website.
