Successful Digital Investigations Conference 23 in Zürich, Switzerland

After a live-event break of several years due to Covid-19 restrictions, Arina was overjoyed to finally organise its flagship event again in person this year. Over the course of two days, we welcomed more than 150 attendees from the Digital Forensics, Mobile Forensics, OSINT, and eDiscovery industries at Hotel Belvoir Rüschlikon, close to Zürich, Switzerland.

The location at Hotel Belvoir has become some sort of a tradition as DIC Zürich location and also this year it did not fail to impress with a superb view over the lake of Zürich and fantastic food and beverage possibilities. Attendees had the opportunity to unwind and socialize during coffee breaks and happy hours, which provided a great atmosphere for discussing the day's events. The flying dinner was another highlight of the event. Attendees were treated to a gourmet dining experience with a variety of delectable dishes on offer. The dinner provided a great opportunity for attendees to connect with one another and discuss the day's events in a more relaxed atmosphere.

The business conference itself was a resounding success, thanks in part to our excellent partners who made it possible. These partners included Atola Technology, Blackdot Solutions, BriefCam, Chainalysis, George Jon, Grayshift, Exterro, Magnet Forensics, Maltego Technologies, Nuix, OpenText, Oxygen Forensics, Rampiva, Reveal-Brainspace, Freezingdata, Searchlight Cyber, Social Links, T3K-Forensics, Undecom, and Passware, which were all present with an exhibitor's booth.

The keynote speeches given by Romedi Ganzoni, Mauro Vignati, and Arno Reuser opened both days of the conference. They shared their insights on digital warfare, OSINT, and the legal 1x1 in the metaverse, providing attendees with invaluable and thought-provoking information. Arno Reuser's uplifting approach was particularly engaging, with the audience completely involved in his speech. After the keynote speeches, attendees had the opportunity to attend more than 30 informative and engaging breakout sessions led by industry experts and/or partners, network with peers, and visit with exhibitors showcasing the latest technology and services. The main goal of the conference to provide a platform for professionals in the field to exchange ideas and knowledge, ultimately benefiting the field of digital investigations was definitely reach through these various activities.

The feedback we received from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the valuable insights and practical knowledge gained from the conference. We are thrilled with the success of the event and look forward to hosting future conferences that continue to push the boundaries of this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
