DevSecCon24 2022

For the upcoming DevSecCon24 events, we are looking for proposals on the topic of DevSecOps and how to continuously secure delivery. Whether this is your first speaking proposal or you are a seasoned conference veteran, we want to hear and learn from your DevSecOps experiences. Share a story, a failure, a successful rollout or a tech stack that has enabled you to learn and advance in the broad space of DevSecOps. 

CFP Closes - 15th April 2022

Speakers notified by mid May 2022

Session Formats​

You can submit proposals for one of the following:

• Keynote (40min) - Inspiring and thought provoking session. 
• Conference session (25mins + 5min live Q&A) – On a range of different technologies, practices and methodologies. 
• Lightning Talk (15min) - Sessions designed for speakers to give a quickfire view of a particular subject

**Note**

• Please provide a detailed abstract. Abstracts that do not clearly define the talk or are less than a paragraph will not be considered.
• Abstracts that are vague and do not include in-depth details will not be considered.
• Provide your top three (3) key takeaways for attendees.

We are looking for proposals in the following areas:

DevSecOps, DevOps and Security teams learning experiences: the good, the bad and the ugly

Cultural change in organisations: how you’ve challenged the status quo and implemented a new approach to secure development and delivery

Applying DevSecOps and continuously securing delivery in an organisation:

• Development – e.g. how to integrate security in your development without impact
• Testing – e.g. how to integrate security testing into a frequent release cycle
• Public and private cloud – e.g. automating security using cloud services
• Operations – e.g. how to introduce business-focussed monitoring
• Security – e.g. how to benefit from continuous monitoring to reduce residual risk
• DevSecOps – e.g. how to automate operational integrated security assurance

​​We welcome any feedback on our submission process, and we are here to help with anything along the way! Please get in touch at info@devseccon.com

Diverse Backgrounds

If the DevSecOps industry hasn't included you or others like you, please include this in your proposal. We want to make a space for the perspectives of people that are underrepresented in or excluded from technology: people of color, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, students, and many more. 

Absolutely no vendor pitches

Many of our most successful talks are by people who sell products in the same area they’re speaking about. If your talk is focused on promoting or selling your product, it’s a bad fit for DevSecCon.
