Changing to MU CyberCon
The AIDE conference began over 12 years ago as a regional event designed to bring together professionals in the legal, law enforcement, IT, and academic communities to focus on digital evidence, cybersecurity, and cyber forensics. Hosted annually at Marshall University, the AIDE conference was a collaborative effort to help professionals and students stay current with the rapidly changing technology landscape. Over the years, it became a cornerstone for cybersecurity education and innovation in the Appalachian region, attracting experts from across the country.
With its transformation into Marshall University CyberCon, we continue to build on the strong foundation that AIDE provided, while expanding the reach nationally.
