(ISC)² Secure Events are a series of seminars that provide continuing education for our members - cyber, information, software and infrastructure security professionals - on the issues and challenges the industry faces today, and what may loom on the horizon. These events are typically held in one day in various cities across North America.  Secure Events give our members a unique, first-hand experience on emerging issues with engaging speakers, arming them with the latest information on current trends and hot-button topics as well as the opportunity to automatically earn CPEs. Members, as well as our sponsors, inform us that Secure Events are invaluable for networking, learning, and ensuring continued value within the roles that they deliver.  Certification is just the beginning, and we rely upon experts to help keep our members educated and informed. 
  
If you are a proven speaker in this field and offer valuable knowledge and subject matter expertise across cyber, information, software and infrastructure security arena that will help our members, we invite you to share your expertise and join our community.

Guiding Principles

When selecting proposals, we will be guided by our foundational principles for the Forum:

We want to ensure that all speakers are highly experienced and high-caliber. We generally will not accept speakers who lack extensive experience and name-recognition.

All speakers should focus on substance and keep promotion to a bare minimum. A very brief mention of products and services is fine, but the Forum aims to avoid the more significantly promotional talks common at some other events. If speakers engaging in too much promotion, they will not be invited back.

Speakers should be interactive and engage the audience. Hands-on activities, using scenarios, and other techniques to facilitate the involvement of the audience is strongly encouraged. We understand that not all presentations lend themselves to interaction, and we are not rigidly requiring interaction. But we have a strong preference for proposals with interactive sessions.

Speakers should provide sophisticated and useful content.  We strive for rigor and practical takeaways. Even in Level 101 sessions, information should not be very basic and easy.

Speakers should be mindful that the audience consists of seasoned professionals with different backgrounds, from law to technology. Sessions should provide real value to the audience and should be respectful of the audience’s extensive experience. Jargon should be avoided wherever possible.

Sessions should aim for a good balance in speaker backgrounds. We are aiming to unite privacy and security, so we will look most favorably on session proposals that session proposals that are inclusive of both privacy and security as well as speakers with different backgrounds (law, technology, academic, policymaker, etc.).

The official Call for Papers (presentations) for the 2016 Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cyber Security Conference, being held October 24 – 27, 2016 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA is now open.  

Submissions must include proposed presentation title, an informative session abstract, including learning objectives for attendees if relevant; and contact information and bio for the proposed speaker. All speakers must adhere to the 100% vendor neutral / no commercial policy of the conference. If speakers cannot respect this policy, they should not submit a proposal.
