VB Conference

Over its 18-year history, the VB conference has become a major highlight of the anti-malware calendar, with many of its regular attendees citing it as the anti-malware event of the year. The conference provides a focus for the industry, representing an opportunity for experts in the field to share their research interests, discuss methods and technologies and set new standards, as well as meet with - and learn from - those who put their technologies into practice in the real world.

Split into two streams, the conference program caters for both technical and corporate audiences, covering a wide range of anti-malware and spam-related subjects. Delegates range from dedicated anti-malware researchers to security experts from government and military organizations, legal, financial and educational institutions and large corporations worldwide.
