Webinars are 1-2 hour long sessions, usually held once a month, via Zoom, that can either be stand-alone topics or a series of topics that connect from one to the next. The sessions can be taken independently, but for a webinar series, the material builds on itself as the year goes on so we encourage people to take the whole series. To learn more about how webinars work, please view our FAQs page.

Each webinar costs $15 for IACA members, $30 for non-members. If a session is free, it will be noted in the description. All students who participate live will receive a Certificate of Attendance. All IACA members who register for a webinar will receive Continuing Education credits for that session, regardless if they attend live or receive the recording. 

Some (but not all) webinars are recorded and can be viewed in the webinar library by IACA members after 45 days have passed from the original air date. For previous webinar series and virtual conferences, please see the bottom of this page.

Course

Geolocation and Call Detail Record (CDR) Analysis Series 2025
Language English - Wordly Translation available
Difficulty Level / Intended Audience Anyone
Description

Instructors Sarah Fletcher and Mike Winslow

The Geolocation and Call Detail Record (CDR) Analysis Series is a comprehensive webinar series designed to provide in-depth knowledge on analyzing call detail records and geolocation data across various telecommunications carriers. Each monthly session targets a specific carrier or application—starting with Verizon and moving through T-Mobile, AT&T, and other relevant technologies.

The series includes both analytical techniques and case studies, culminating in tools for visualization and courtroom preparation. Suitable for analysts at different levels, this series equips participants with the skills required for effective and advanced telephone toll analysis. 

Please note that the instructors will not be teaching based off a particular paid platform. The November session will discuss various paid and free options to assist with analyzing CDRs.

All CDR series sessions will be recorded; if you cannot attend the live session, we will provide the recording within 2 business days.  All registrants who are IACA members will receive Continuing Education Credits and you may request a certificate if you want one. For non-registrants, the recordings will be posted to the webinar library after 45 days.

Students can either “mix and match” individual sessions as necessary or can purchase a series pass for all 12 sessions at a 25% discount. If you join the series pass mid-year, the price will be pro-rated and you will also receive the recordings for the previous sessions without the 45-day waiting period.
