AI Security

All submissions will be reviewed by the conference's program committee, composed of experts in the field. Submissions may be for 45-minutes for sessions to be held on Feb. 20th, and/or workshops (2 - 3 hours) to be held on Feb. 21st. Student researcher sessions will occur on Feb. 20th.

Best ways to get selected to speak: Select a topic relevant to the security industry. It can be technical or non-technical. Propose a talk about something new, or have a fresh, different, or controversial perspective (that you can defend) about an existing topic. No book reports please.

Supply as much detail as possible so the selection committee can see what your major thoughts are. Outlines are welcome.

No vendor pitches, please. Obvious vendor pitches will not be accepted. That said, we certainly understand you might want to mention where you work, but otherwise please keep your talk vendor agnostic.

Please don’t use your name, or alias, in the body of the paper. This is to ensure that submissions are selected in a fair and unbiased way.

Speakers receive free admission to both days of the event. Travel compensation will not be provided.
