Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.
This year, our theme is Society at the Intersection of Security, Privacy, and Public Policy.
As our society becomes increasingly connected, we are seeing challenges to the notions of privacy, security, and what that means to us as a whole:
- What data is being collected? How is it being collected and stored? Who has access to it?
- What rights do we, or should we, have as citizens and consumers?
- What responsibilities do organizations and governments have to protect us?
- What role should industry or government play in addressing societal concerns about these, and other, concerns?
We welcome submissions for both technical and non-technical talks which address one or more of the areas in this year's theme.
We are looking for 25 minute and 55-minute presentations. Please specify the length of your talk in your submission.
Submission Guidelines
This year, we are utilizing a double-blind peer review process. This means that all submissions must be anonymized so that reviewers cannot tell who submitted the proposed talk. Submissions that are not properly anonymized will be returned to the author(s) for revision.
Our goal is to have each submission evaluated by three reviewers, with written feedback provided.
