Few names in investigative journalism are as instantly recognizable as Chris Hansen and we’re honored to welcome him back to CrimeCon 2026.
From his groundbreaking To Catch a Predator investigations to his current series Takedown with Chris Hansen and Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, he has spent decades exposing online exploitation and working alongside law enforcement to hold offenders accountable. His work continues to shine a light on crimes against children nationwide.
From headline-making confrontations to real-world impact, he’ll take the CrimeCon stage in Las Vegas — and this time, you’ll be the one taking a seat.
At CrimeCon 2026, Haley Robson, Courtney Wild, and Jena-Lisa Jones will take the stage to share stories of survival, resilience, and purpose.
As survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse when they were teenagers, each has transformed unimaginable trauma into meaningful action. Through their work with The Survivors, Inc., they use their voices to educate, demand accountability, and push for reform.
At CC26, they will speak about their journeys from survival to strength — and the work they’re doing now to ensure other survivors are heard, believed, and supported.
Their stories changed the national conversation, now they’re helping change the future.
Threat management expert and the author Spencer Coursen returns to CC26 and yes, Certified Good Boy Ronin will be by his side.
Joining them is survivor, author, and DNA Justice Project founder Ashley Spence for a powerful conversation on how forensic DNA helped bring her own attacker to justice — and how that same science continues to solve cold cases nationwide.
Together, they’ll break down how DNA evidence works, why untested rape kits remain a national crisis, and what real solutions look like. Courage, science, reform — and one very good boy.
Reminder: Guest and creator announcements will continue regularly, and the official CC26 schedule will be released approximately 30 days before we get to Las Vegas.
