MSU will be hosting its first annual Interdisciplinary Conference on Cybercrime at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development on March 20.
The goal of the event is to bring social and technical researchers together to improve knowledge on cybercrime and policy responses.
The event is being presented by the School of Criminal Justice, the Eli Broad College of Business, A.J. Boggs and Company as well as MSU’s Research and Graduate Studies.
In addition to a presentation from Thomas J. Holt, an associate professor at MSU’s School of Criminal Justice, there will be 10 other speakers from universities across the U.S. and one speaker from Griffith University in Australia.
Some other colleges represented include Purdue University, University of Arizona the and University of Maryland.
Similar to the “TED Talks” structure, two speakers will have 20-25 minutes to present their work and ideas during a 50-minute panel.
Each panel will feature a different researcher from both social and technical disciplines to promote the idea of synergy.
Some of the topics to be discussed include combating cyber crimes, forensics of malware and effects of online victimization and fear.
The early registration fee for the event was $150 prior to February 1; it has since been raised to $175.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Henry Center, which is MSU’s award-winning primary home for professional and executive education.
