SharkFest’17 US Attendee Feedback

“It’s a wonderful time to have the privilege to participate with such talent and good will as that which is found in the Wireshark community. I believe that as the risks present within the Internet increase, Wireshark and the Wireshark community stand poised at the intersection of the Internet nexus to identify, mitigate, and secure network resources everywhere.

Thank you again for all that you do to bring together the Wireshark community annually for SharkFest!”

“Thank you for organizing a fabulous event for everyone. It was a great experience and I learned a lot.”

“In my humble opinion, Sharkfest is a great success. Many of the presentations show common case issues, and how Wireshark helps to identify them in their own ways. Most of the people I met at Sharkfest are small to medium size companies. We all have similar issues, but sometimes we just don’t know how and where to begin tackling the issue. It looks so easy when the experts present, trust me it’s not quite similar in real life. This conference helps us to navigate through these obstacle courses and helps us to do our job better.”

“Thank you for the great SharkFest’ 17 US conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the past days. All of you – and don’t forget the guys behind the scenes - have done a great job again and we all together survived.”

A Word of Thanks

SharkFest’17 US, the tenth anniversary of the conference, was a roaring success thanks to the highly engaged community of core developers and Wireshark users in attendance. Special thanks to Gerald Combs for tirelessly, fearlessly guiding the Wireshark open source project and maintaining its relevancy, to core developers for traveling long distances and braving severe storm-related delays to advance Wireshark code together, to Laura Chappell for delivering another excellent troubleshooting class, jumping in at the last minute to replace presenters unable to keep their commitments due to travel complications, and for creating another highly-anticipated Packet Challenge, to Dr. Peter Steenkiste for his provocative keynote, to Sake Blok for the many man-hours dedicated to creating a thrilling group packet competition, to a staff and volunteer crew who went far beyond caring to serve attendees during the conference, to instructors who voluntarily shuffled lives and schedules to educate participants and learn from one another, to sponsors who so generously provided resources that made the conference possible, to the CMU social hosts who made our social events truly social, and to the Carnegie Mellon Conference Events team for working through months of minutiae to help stage the conference on the rare and beautiful CMU campus.
