From interactive crime scene analysis to harrowing real life stories - CrimeCon is returning to Glasgow with a lineup of leading experts ready to discuss all things true crime.
Billed as the world's leading true crime event, CrimeCon aims to explore often traumatic stories in a supportive and caring, non-sensational environment.
True crime enthusiasts, survivors, criminologists, authors, podcasters, and law enforcement will come together in the city on April 27.

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.”
The programme also features documentary makers and investigative journalists.
This year, notable guest speakers include Dr Richard Shepherd, one of the UK's 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.
Joining the line-up this year is also freelance journalist and PR consultant Penny Farmer, who will be talking about the 40-year search for her brother’s killer as documented in her book Dead in the Water and the award-winning BBC podcast Paradise.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
