Security BSides St John's 2013 Call for Papers

Call for Papers is open!

Will you step up to the podium this Fall?

BSides St. John’s 2013 is happening on October 18th, and will consist of a single speaking track. Regular presentation slot lengths are a fixed duration of 45 minutes plus 15 minutes for Q&A if necessary. And for 2013, BSides St. John’s is also accepting submissions for Lightning Talks. They will be limited to 10-15 minutes in duration and typically consist of 2 to 3 presentation slides. We are hoping that this short presentation time will encourage those new to presenting to submit.


We are currently investigating our options but hope to live stream the event and record all presentations for later distribution. If the recording and live streaming of your presentation poses an issue for you then please contact us to discuss your concerns.

It is important to note that any presentations or talks deemed to be of a marketing or sales pitch nature will be politely rejected.
Submissions will be in plain text and should address the following points:

• Your preferred email address

• The title and abstract for your presentation
• Approximate length of your presentation

Additionally, your submission should answer the following questions:

• Has this material been presented elsewhere? If so, where and when?
• May we record and stream your presentation? If not, why?
