Small But Mighty: How a Pittsburgh Company Is Using Technology To Fight Sex Trafficking Internationally

Friday October 30, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm EDT

Conference Room 2

Sex trafficking is a complex international problem. One of the biggest challenges for public safety is this type of crime goes underreported. To protect and serve victims, law enforcement must be proactive in identifying exploitation. This is where technology can make a difference. At Marinus Analytics, we build software to help investigators sift through a massive amount of data and turn it into actionable insights, helping them to uncover victims, missing persons, and organized crime rings.

In this talk, I’ll share how Marinus Analytics is using technology to help public safety and other organizations combat sex trafficking across the United States and around the world. I’ll discuss the challenges of building technology to address a problem that is constantly evolving and difficult to define, and how a small team of technologists uses lean innovation to make a meaningful impact on a global scale.
