HUNTINGTON —
The Marshall University Forensic Science Center will host the second annual Appalachian Institute of Digital Evidence Conference next week to provide training in digital forensics and evidence recovery, electronic discovery and information security.
The conference will offer a wide array of training for professionals and students in the fields of law, digital forensics, law enforcement and information security. The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
John Sammons, an assistant professor in Marshall’s Integrated Science and Technology Department, is the director of AIDE.
“Anyone who works with digital evidence, whether they are a lawyer, a police officer or an information security professional, must keep pace with technology,” he said. “The risks today are simply too high to do otherwise. The AIDE provides the type of cutting edge training that these folks need to protect our communities and companies as well as serve their clients.”
Sammons said the conference will offer a wide array of speakers from the FBI, Purdue University, AccessData, several law firms, the West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Institute, the West Virginia State Police, Digital Intelligence and many more.
“This is an outstanding opportunity for professionals and students alike,” he said.
Continuing education credits are available for law enforcement, attorneys and information security professionals. First-responder certification will be offered on digital evidence.
Registration fees are free for current AIDE members, $50 for nonmember professionals and $20 for students and are due the first day of attendance. Preregistration is required for lunch, which will cost $10 a day. Payment for lunch is due on the days of attendance.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Access Data will conduct training on Summation, a software solution used to manage, organize and analyze every aspect of the litigation process. AccessData is a leading provider of e-discovery, computer forensics and cyber security software for law firms, corporations and government agencies. The Summation training is being offered separately from the AIDE conference. The following two courses will be offered at a fee of $500 for each course: “Loading Case Data into Summation” on Tuesday and “Summation Case Management, Advanced Topics” on Wednesday.
