http://eusecwest.com

The worlds security professionals converge to discuss new technology, and share best practices. The most significant new discoveries, technologies, and products will be presented at the annual EUSecWest conference, brought to you by the organizers of PacSec and CanSecWest.

The latest in cutting edge information security threats, defenses, applications, and theory will be showcased in a series of one hour presentations by the brightest minds in the security field from all nations.

Catered breaks and lunches are provided to make a comfortable social environment to network with your peers. Wired and wireless networking will be provided for attendees to stay in touch with their offices, and remain productive, so bring your laptop.

Evening social activities will be planned for the international and local attendees to mix.

To address the need for intermediate and advanced educational requirements that go beyond the introductory materials typically found in most currently existing training (which are often geared towards the novice level) for professionals who already have significant work experience, and want to further improve their skills, we have assembled a curriculum of hands-on, one day, training programs - delivered by industry renowned experts who are pre-eminent in their fields.

This is information security university level training for practitioners who already have substantial knowledge and wish to broaden their boundaries. It goes beyond introductory level material to focus and delve more deeply into technical subjects that aren't addressed in other currently available training. For more information, please see the Dojo page.

AVIEN Virtual Conference

Virtual / January

Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network

http://www.avien.org/conf2007.html

The second annual AVIEN Virtual conference will concentrate on the evolution of Malware from a generally innocent venture to a multi-billion dollar criminal industry.

Over the last few years, the face of malware has significantly changed. While the script kiddies are still playing, and continue to do so in sometimes sophisticated ways, malware has increasingly become profit driven, and presents new, additional challenges for those of us charged with enterprise malware defense.

While the old threats have not gone away, we have to now understand and defend against the recent wave of crimeware, while continuing to be aware of (and reacting to) more traditional forms of malware.

We are pleased to present, in our second annual AVIEN Virtual conference, a roster of speakers who are uniquely qualified to speak to the real impact to enterprises of modern-day threats.

Cleveland, OH / April

Presented by FTS Conventures

http://www.notacon.org/

NOTACON, an annual conference held in Cleveland, Ohio, explores and showcases technologies, philosophy and creativity often overlooked at other "hacker cons". Our desire is not to supplant other events, but complement them and strike a balance that has gone unnoticed in our community for far too long.

With each new year we build upon the successes and knowledge of the previous years. Our goal is to enlighten, educate, and entertain attendees, presenters, and staff alike. We try to do this by finding new ways to apply technology to graphics, art, music, or social interaction.

Notacon espouses an ethos of exploration, participation and positive contributions. Hence, while some of the material we may cover is controversial or potentially "black hat" in nature, we feel it is important to bring light to all topics so that everyone can learn from the experience and create something good, fun or interesting from it.

Events during Notacon run from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon. These include over 40 presentations, contests such as "Anything but Ethernet", game shows, prize giveaways and a whole lot of who-knows-what. Anything can happen, and usually does.

Hope

New York City / Summer

Presented by 2600: The Hacker Quarterly

http://www.2600.com/

The HOPE conferences have been running since 1994. HOPE stands for Hackers On Planet Earth and it has become a gathering point for thousands of computer hackers, phone phreaks, net activists, government spooks, and a whole lot of curious people from all corners of the globe.

Why do we do this?
Hackers are curious people who live to learn and share information with others. And occasionally we like to meet up with a few thousand of our closest friends. Every time we have a HOPE conference, a whole new generation of hackers is inspired to pursue knowledge and work on creative projects. Non-hackers also come to HOPE and learn from the hackers. New friendships and alliances are formed and the world is hopefully changed ever so slightly for the better. This is not an annual event. Each HOPE conference is somewhat unique and we like to take the time to develop new themes. But one thing remains constant: it will be a fun and interesting event that you will always remember.

Techno Forensics is hosted by the Institute of Computer Forensics Professionals (ICFP), the U.S. Secret Service ecTaskForce, Maryland InfraGard and NIST. The conference is founded on the principles of standardization in the field of digital evidence investigation. The conference will cover many of the general disciplines in the areas of digital evidence investigation to include some of the latest information on software and hardware solutions.

Unlike other forensic conferences that are limited to law enforcement only or are vendor specific in nature, this conference will be open to everyone currently involved in computer forensics, digital evidence, or anyone having an interest in these rapidly growing fields.

Conference agenda topics will cover a range of the digital disciplines which include: Fundamentals of acquisitions, Terabyte storage and preparing for it, Building a forensics lab, fly away kits, black bag forensics, e-discovery and special instructor lead focused classes on Basics of FAT, NTFS, macintosh, and linux file systems and dealing with their data.

The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, Inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during the conferences.
