VB2025 lands in Berlin September 24-26. Teams from major enterprises, government agencies, and security companies are already booking their spots. Here’s why people keep coming back.
1. The people. VB isn’t one of those massive shows where you drown in vendor booths. It’s focused. You get actual conversations with the people doing the research, not sales reps reading scripts.
2. The talks aren’t recycled. VB pulls from real research. You’ll hear about what attackers are actually doing, not generic threat overviews you could get from a blog post.
3. Hands-on testing under AMTSO. The VBSpam tests now run under the AMTSO framework. That means methodology you can trust when evaluating email security products.
4. Cross-sector mix. You’ll find researchers from antivirus labs sitting next to government CERT teams sitting next to financial sector defenders. The crossover conversations are where the value is.
5. Berlin in September. Not the main reason, but it doesn’t hurt. Good venue, good infrastructure, and the conference keeps things tight enough that you’re not spending your entire time commuting between venues.
Early registration is open. If your team hasn’t booked yet, worth a look.
