We are very excited to announce that we (The Volatility Foundation)
are hosting a week of Volatility events in October in Arlington, VA!
The week will start with our From the Source event on Monday October
21st. FTS is a one-day conference with speakers across two tracks, and
we have chosen speakers from across the industry who have recently
published ground-breaking research in the areas of memory forensics,
malware analysis, threat intelligence, and other related technical
fields. The day will conclude at the International Spy Museum where we
have booked out the entire venue for our attendees to network and
enjoy. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Connect Our
Kids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is pioneering technology to find
families, build connections, and create community for children in the
foster care system.
From Tuesday the 22nd through Friday the 25th, we will be hosting the
first offering of our popular Malware and Memory Forensics with
Volatility training that is focused exclusively on Volatility 3. This
event will allow attendees to be in the first set of students to learn
Volatility 3 directly from the core development team. We have also
significantly updated the course curriculum and created many new labs.
Those who register for this training will receive complimentary access
to FTS.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we are looking
forward to seeing many of our community members in October!

Gain industry-wide visibility for your work, contribute to an
important open-source project, and win cash, swag, and other great
prizes!
The contest is designed to encourage research and development in the
