What is SharkFest?
SharkFest, launched in 2008, is an annual educational conference focused on sharing knowledge, experience and best practices among the Wireshark developer and user communities.
Wireshark is the de facto standard and most widely-deployed open-source network and packet analysis tool consistently downloaded 1.5M+ times/month by IT Professionals across all network-related disciplines. SharkFest attendees hone their skills in the art of packet analysis by attending lecture and lab-based sessions delivered by the most seasoned experts in the industry. Wireshark core code contributors also gather during the conference days to enrich and evolve the tool to maintain its relevance in ensuring the productivity of modern networks.

SharkFest Mission
SharkFest's aim is to support ongoing Wireshark development, to educate and inspire current and future generations of computer science and IT professionals responsible for managing, troubleshooting, diagnosing and securing legacy and modern networks, and to encourage widespread use of the free analysis tool. Per Gerald Combs, Wireshark project Founder …“Wireshark is a tool and a community. My job is to support both”.
The Goals of SharkFest
- To educate current and future generations of network engineers, network architects, application engineers, network consultants, and other IT professionals in best practices for troubleshooting, securing, analyzing, and maintaining productive, efficient networking infrastructures through use of the Wireshark free, open source analysis tool.
- To share use cases and knowledge among members of the Wireshark user and developer communities in a relaxed, informal milieu.
- To remain a self-funded, independent, educational conference hosted by a corporate sponsor.
