Never Forget. 🇺🇸

On September 11, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost and the countless families whose lives were changed forever.

We honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger, including the 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 Port Authority officers, and other emergency personnel who gave their lives serving others.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to service remain a lasting reminder of what it means to put others before ourselves.

Good morning, TXLEAN!

Well, apparently you all actually read the emails. 😳

After weeks of bad puns, questionable jokes, shameless reminders, ticking clocks, and repeated requests to register, we have an important announcement:

🎉 BOTH 2026 TXLEAN SYMPOSIUMS ARE FULL! 🎉

🏙️ Grand Prairie — FULL

🌲 The Woodlands — FULL

That's right. We've officially reached capacity at both events.

We'd like to say this was the result of a sophisticated, data-driven marketing strategy based on predictive analytics and carefully measured member engagement...

But we're pretty sure it was the puns.

Seriously, though, THANK YOU!

The response to this year's symposiums has been incredible, and we're excited to welcome a packed house of analysts from across Texas for two outstanding events.

If you're registered, we'll see you soon.

If you didn't get registered...

Well...

Remember this feeling when those 2027 registration emails start showing up. 😂

Thank you for continuing to support TXLEAN, our training programs, and the analytical profession across Texas.



– The TXLEAN Board

P.S. The person writing the emails has now been ordered to stop asking you to register.

Good morning, TXLEAN!

Analysts are trained to gather all available information before making a decision.

We research.
We compare.
We analyze.
We build a spreadsheet.
We add another tab to the spreadsheet.
We question the methodology.
We ask for more data...

Eventually, we have to make a decision.

And if you've been "analyzing" whether to attend the TXLEAN Grand Prairie Symposium, your analysis period is officially coming to an end.

⏰ Grand Prairie registration closes TODAY — August 31!

As of tomorrow, the number of days remaining to register will be:

ZERO.

Grand Prairie Symposium | September 28–29

Two days of ArcGIS, AI, Machine Learning, Organized Financial Crime, Digital Terrorism, resource optimization, networking, and plenty of conversations with people who also think pivot tables are exciting.

Register BELOW before the clock runs out

Can't make Grand Prairie?

The Woodlands Symposium | October 20–21
Registration is still open BELOW:

One final data point: Personalized name tags are no longer guaranteed, but we'll make sure you have something identifying you as a human and not just another data point.

You've analyzed long enough.

Make the call. Grand Prairie closes tonight. ⏰ Tick Tock...Tick Tock....

🎉Congratulations to our current
TXLEAN Vice President of Administration!

TXLEAN is proud to congratulate Dr. Drew Dasher on the announcement of the acclimation to serve as Vice President of Administration of the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA) beginning January 2027.

We are delighted to see one of our own take on this leadership role and represent Texas on the international stage.

2026 Election Update: Vice President of Administration

The IACA Elections Committee is pleased to announce that Drew Dasher has been acclaimed as Vice President of Administration, as he is the sole eligible candidate for the position. His term will officially begin on January 1, 2027.

While there will not be a formal election this year, we still want to provide IACA members with the opportunity to learn more about Drew, his goals for the position, and his vision for serving the Association.

The Election Forum will open as scheduled, August 24th, giving members an opportunity to ask Drew candidate-related questions and engage with him about his candidacy, priorities, and plans for the role.

We will also move forward with a Candidate Q&A event, providing another opportunity for members to hear directly from Drew and learn more about his perspective and goals as the incoming Vice President of Administration. Additional details about the Candidate Q&A will be shared soon.

We encourage members to take advantage of these opportunities to engage, ask questions, and get to know your incoming Vice President of Administration.

Congratulations to Drew Dasher on his acclamation!

Good morning, TXLEAN!

📊 ANALYTICAL ASSESSMENT

After reviewing all available intelligence, TXLEAN analysts have reached the following conclusion with HIGH CONFIDENCE:

If you plan to attend the Grand Prairie Symposium, you need to register soon.

Why the elevated threat level?

🚨 Grand Prairie registration officially CLOSES August 31.

Once that deadline passes, no amount of link analysis, predictive modeling, SQL queries, or pleading with the TXLEAN Board will change the assessment. 😉

GRAND PRAIRIE | September 28–29
ArcGIS • Machine Learning • Generative AI • Organized Financial Crime • Digital Terrorism • Resource Optimization & more

👉 Register below!

Can't make Grand Prairie?

🌲 THE WOODLANDS | October 20–21

One additional intelligence note: Personalized name tags are no longer guaranteed, so the sooner you register, the better your chances of arriving to something a little fancier than our finest Sharpie work.

Assessment: Don't overanalyze this one.

Pick your symposium. Get registered. Come hang out with your fellow Texas analysts.
