Open: Thursday, December 6 2019.

Deadline: Sunday, March 22 2020.

Acceptance notification: Sunday, April 2 2020.

This conference is intended to be community-based, which means two things when applying for a presentation:

  • We do not accept the product- or vendor-related pitches. We are a vendor-neutral conference focused on the topics relevant to cybersecurity and information security. By this, we are referring to sales pitches. Companies, vendors, or professionals are more than welcome to come to share their experiences, knowledge, and points-of-views.
  • The success of the entire conference is depending on the community, which means you! We are looking for speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and participants ready to learn and have fun.

We are looking for presentations preferably about relevant and popular topics around information or cyber-security. If you are working on a new tool, performing interesting research, or hunting a security bug, we want to hear about it! We are also interested in basic and more general security-related topics, so if you don't have "shiny new research" but want to teach the participants about some well-known techniques that are widely used and useful; let us know and we'll see where to place it!

As previously stated, as our budget is very limited, we sadly cannot cover any travel, subsistence, or presentation costs. We are hoping for the applicants' understanding.

We would also like to ask the speakers to make sure their presentations are timed as precisely to their chosen presentation lengths as possible. This will help to keep the schedule precise and without any unwanted breaks. This goes for both going over the selected timeframe as well as going under. Please be as precise as possible. We will provide time measurement devices for assistance.

  • 30 + 5 minutes - Presentation consisting of 30 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes of q&a and discussion
