As part of the event, we’re looking to you to help share your knowledge with fellow DFIR practitioners. We’re currently accepting submissions for presentations in this years Magnet Virtual Summit and we want to hear from you!

Interested in filling one of our available 50-minute slots? Any qualified industry professional is welcome to submit and all ideas are welcome, including DFIR talks that don’t necessarily tie directly back to our products. Our goal for this event is to be relevant to the industry, with general interest talks that help investigators from all walks.

And we want to make the most of the virtual format by making sure we hear from voices around the world. Local perspectives can be extremely valuable, and we want you to share the unique challenges you may face within your area.

Applications are now open over at www.magnetvirtualsummit.com and you have until December 31, 2020 to submit.

Ideas of What to Share

RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS

We want to hear about the processes, divisions of labor, and tools you use to get results back to investigators faster, improve the quality of results you provide, or track cases more easily.
