SharkFest is an annual educational conference series dedicated to sharing knowledge, experience, and best practices among the global Wireshark developer and user communities. Since 2008, practitioners have gathered to sharpen their skills in protocol analysis, network forensics, and open-source packet tooling.
SharkFest Europe brings that tradition to the continent, connecting European network engineers, security professionals, and Wireshark contributors in a focused, collaborative environment.
