REGISTER NOW

The inaugural Digital Pest Symposium (DPS1) will be held in Melbourne on 8 February 2005.

The Digital Pest Symposium is a one-day event, focussing on the twin global scourges of "spam" email and malicious software (including, but not limited to, viruses, worms, trojans and spyware). Just about anyone who uses a computer these days (and that's most of us) has to deal with these in some way, so all are welcome and encouraged to attend, and indeed participate.

This year's event will be held at:

Australian Industry Group
Ground Floor
20 Queens Road
Melbourne Vic 3004

Goals

to promote the sharing of information and experience relating to digital pest countermeasures,
to raise awareness of the role of good software and systems design in controlling digital pests,
to raise the awareness of open-source countermeasures within the broader ICT community.

Format

The event is made up of 45 minute talks, comprising mostly speaking time and an allowance for questions. We encourage both technical and non- technical presentations, on topics including:

anti-virus and anti-spam solutions
anti-virus and anti-spam software internals
methodology - vulnerabilities exploited by spammers and virus authors
user education
legalities (e.g. fighting spam in the courts)
ISP strategies
the role of government

Registration

Registration costs are as follows:

$99 for full AUUG members,
