The 6th Annual China Computer Forensics Conference & Exhibition (CCFC 2010) will be held in Beijing, China from 28 June to 2 July 2010.  The event is being co-organized and sponsored by the China Computer Forensic Research Center and the Information Security & Forensics Society (ISFS) Hong Kong Chapter.

        The annual CCFC event is unquestionably acknowledged as the preeminent digital forensic conference in China.  The goal of the CCFC organizers is to host a world-class annual gathering of Chinese and foreign industry professionals and researchers with the aim of facilitating the development of advanced computer forensic technology both domestically and abroad.  The conference also provides attendees the opportunity to share case studies and technical skills, as well as develop new contacts with fellow computer forensic practitioners, law enforcement professionals and industry experts. The previous five CCFC events have all been extremely successful and have significantly contributed to the development of computer forensic technologies in China.  Previous event topics have focused on developing forensic laws, legislation and regulations, data recovery, data-mining and integration, evidence preservation, data acquisition, data analysis and mobile device forensics.
           Having taken into consideration several recent new product releases and digital forensic technology advancements internationally -- as well as increasing domestic demands -- the CCFC 2010 format has been expanded to enable sufficient focus on new technologies, meet existing training demands, and realize better cooperation with international forensic institutions and law enforcement agencies.
          The CCFC events have always been well attended by members of the China law enforcement community.  And beginning in 2007, CCFC has seen a yearly increase in attendance by Chinese researchers, information security professionals, as well as practitioners from the fields of finance, education, business consulting and investigation, and foreign forensic experts and scholars from many countries and regions.  What began as a domestic meeting of computer forensic professionals has gradually grown to become the most significant annual event on computer and digital forensic technologies in China -- and perhaps all of Asia.  (Note: Average attendance at the past 3 CCFC events has been between 300-350 participates with an annual increase of participates each year.  We expect a similar increase in attendance this year.)
          For CCFC 2010, the organizers have increased the number of training workshops to better provide the participants the opportunity to fully learn new skills and technologies, acquire high-level and practical techniques, and to meet and network with international instructors, forensic investigators and industry professionals.
          The rapid development of computer and cell phone science and technology has resulted in an alarming increase in the number of computer-related crimes.  This situation urgently demands increased forensic research and development, new and appropriate legal regulation and procedures, the continual enhancement of skills and practices for digital forensic examiners, technicians, analysts and investigators. 
        We are certain the 2010 China Computer Forensics Conference will have a far-reaching impact on the development of China's computer forensic technology.  We invite you to join us at what promises to be the most educational and productive digital forensics event in Asia in 2010!
