VB2006 a resounding success - VB2007 dates revealed

As another VB conference comes to a close, dates for next year's conference are revealed.

VB2006, which took place in Montréal last week has been declared a resounding success by the conference organisers.

The conference drew to a close on Friday 13th October after three packed days of presentations, panel discussions, meetings, birds of a feather sessions and lively debate, with a fair amount of eating, drinking, music and acrobatics (displays) thrown in for good measure.

A full round up of the conference and a selection of photographs from the event will be posted on the VB website shortly.

At the close of VB2006 it was revealed that next year, the 17th Virus Bulletin International Conference - VB2007 - will take place 19-21 September in Vienna, Austria.
