2009 FIRST Symposium, Riga
Riga (LV), 19-21 January, 2009
FIRST Symposium —named before as FIRST Technical Colloquium (TCs)— provides a discussion forum for FIRST member teams to share information about vulnerabilities, incidents, tools and all other issues that affect the operation of incident response and security teams.
For you that are new in FIRST or never have attended a Symposium (or Technical Colloquium), the meeting typically provides one whole day of plenary sessions for informal discussions and presentations on topics of FIRST membership interest, or that are more sensitive in nature and related to the day-to-day work of participants, followed by a day of hands-on classes, where leading security experts sit down with small groups of FIRST team members, and work through technical topics in a highly interactive hands-on fashion.
The FIRST Symposia (and Technical Colloquia) are typically hosted by members and since 2005 are being organized in a regional basis the current regions being Latin-America, North-America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. For each region the goal is to organize one symposium per year either standing on its own, or jointly with regional CSIRT initiatives.
Thus, this will be the 4th TF-CSIRT and FIRST Meeting in Europe!
