A Word of Thanks

The success of SharkFest’16 is due in very large part to Gerald Combs and the core developers excellent stewardship of the Wireshark open source project, to the tireless efforts of Laura Chappell who provides innumerable hours of expert instruction before and during the conference, to Laura’s merry band of packet analysis mentors who guide and inform all comers to The Reef, to the world-class presenters who contribute their time and talent to educate the gathered Wireshark community, to the sponsors who so generously donate their time and resources to make the event possible every year, and to the SharkFest crew of volunteer staff without whom the curtain for this event could not be raised. Yottabytes of thanks to all these, and to the attendees who show up every year to immerse themselves in this unique educational experience.
