SnykCon 2022 - Call for presentations!

SnykCon brings developer and security professionals together to share the practices, processes, and tools that empower teams to build securely. Whether you're an emerging leader or an industry veteran, our community can learn from your experiences.

SnykCon 2022 is a free virtual conference with in-person events in cities around the world.

• Conference date: November 8–10, 2022
• CFP deadline: June 15, 2022

SnykCon talk types

• Mainstage (20–30 min) 
  These sessions feature topics that are exciting to a broad audience. They’ll offer insight into the future of security, share best practices that have worked at scale, or provide inspiration and ideas that attendees can take back to their teams. 
  
  
• Lightning talks (5 min) 
  Structured to provide a quick interlude between longer sessions, these talks can highlight a quick case study, tangential topic of interest, or something completely different that makes us say, “Wow!”
  
  
• Developer-focused sessions (25 min)
  Security starts with developers. Share how you’ve solved tough development challenges, integrated or rolled out security, and solved problems that had a big impact. We encourage deep-dive technical sessions to show off your team’s accomplishments.
  
  
• Security-focused sessions (25 min)
  How do you make security work across your org? Tell us how your team has integrated security into the dev workflow, built a security awareness program, created a collaborative security practice, or navigated internal change management.

Three key themes

We're excited to explore the following themes at SnykCon 2022. Keep them in mind as you develop your proposal. But don't worry — if your story is outside of the box, we still want to hear from you.

• Developer security
  How are developers being empowered to build securely and how are you creating a culture of secure development?
  
  
• Software supply chain security
  How are you identifying and mitigating risks throughout the development process to secure your software supply chain?
  
  
• Code to cloud
  How do you connect cloud security insights with developer workflows to create actionable security feedback loops? 

Ways to frame your talk

SnykCon is the developer security conference — so what does developer security look like for you and your team? We’re particularly interested in hearing about your successes in the following areas.

• Developer-first tools: Enable developers to code securely within their CLI, IDEs, and repositories.
• Secure from the start: Shift security left to build faster, more efficiently.
• Vulnerabilities in context: Manage vulnerabilities while balancing features and security debt.
• Misconfigurations are vulnerabilities: Actionable tips for securing containers and cloud infrastructure.
• Foster cross-team collaboration: Best practices for keeping developers and security teams on the same page.
• Security controls that support DevSecOps: Automate security testing within existing workflows, pipelines, and processes.
