PROGRAM INFORMATION
The DFRWS conference brings together leading researchers, practitioners, industry, tool developers, academics, law enforcement, and military from around the globe to tackle current and emerging challenges in digital forensics. Established in 2001, DFRWS conferences welcome all community members to share cutting-edge research, practitioner presentations, and works in progress in a friendly atmosphere. As an independent organization, we promote open community discussions and disseminate the results of our work to the widest audience.

RODEO
Forensics Rodeo! The Rodeo will be a CTF style event with challenges of various levels in digital forensics. Bring a team or work solo.
GOT SOMETHING TO SHARE?
Great opportunities to share your ideas and connect with people with similar interests. The Work-in-Progress session provides a fast-paced forum to share the status of your current research. Sign up in-conference to share a short two-minute snapshot of your work.
WHY ATTEND IN PERSON?
DFRWS conferences have always been defined by the people, the friendly relaxed atmosphere, and open nature of the group, as much as its technical excellence. We are excited to have our first ever in-person APAC event and our hosts are looking forward to showing what makes Adelaide special. Connections made from conversations in the hallways, at lunch, and in the evening over a beer are as important as the papers. Events like the rodeo allow people to work in small groups in a relaxed setting, either with old friends or brand new ones.
WHY ATTEND VIRTUALLY?
For those unable to attend in person, we try to make this more than just the passive experience of watching a prerecorded stream. We have dedicated people on-site, monitoring Zoom to relay questions in chat – reading them out load so the in-person audience hear the questions too. Like the presentations stream, the Rodeo and Workshops are also virtual friendly, so if attending in-person is not an option, you can still participate.
