M3AAWG meetings, open to current members and the occasional vetted guest, are multiple-track events held three times a year and generally attended by 300 to 500 participants. Leading industry experts, researchers and public policy officials address such diverse topics as bot mitigation practices, social networking abuse and pending legislation. Each three-day meeting is an exceptional opportunity to discuss the latest in messaging security with other professionals in a focused environment of working sessions and educational panels. M3AAWG reserves the right to refuse any meeting registration from a member or non-member at its discretion.
