The inaugural Digital Pest Symposium (DPS1) will be held in Melbourne on 8 February 2005.

The Digital Pest Symposium is a one-day event, focussing on the twin global scourges of "spam" email and malicious software (including, but not limited to, viruses, worms, trojans and spyware). Just about anyone who uses a computer these days (and that's most of us) has to deal with these in some way, so all are welcome and encouraged to attend, and indeed participate.

This year's event will be held at:

Australian Industry Group
Ground Floor
20 Queens Road
Melbourne Vic 3004
