With a strong tradition of presenting cutting-edge research and tools, the conference brings together dedicated practitioners and researchers to address the emerging challenges in our field. DFRWS is a widely recognized catalyst for innovation: past conferences have showcased ground-breaking advances in memory analysis, fragmented file carving and flash memory reconstruction, along with a host of other technologies and techniques.
The DFRWS Keynote speakers this year are:

• Wilbert Paulissen (Netherlands Cybercrime Unit, High Tech Crime, Diensthoofd Nationale Recherche)
• Christiaan Alberdingk Thijm (Dutch lawyer from bureau Brandeis, experiences include the Kazaa case and other complex digital cases)

Invited speaker is:

• Mikael Lindström (European Cyber Crime Center, EC3)

The 2014 DFRWS EU conference will offer several hands-on tutorial sessions, led by preeminent forensic researchers and developers, and free to all registered attendees. Two tracks of workshop sessions will be offered on Friday May 9th. These sessions include incident response, video file recovery, memory forensics, network forensics and cloud forensics followed by a guided tour at the digital forensic lab of the Netherlands Forensic Institute.
