- AI-driven attacks, defenses, governance, and automation
- Nation-state threats, ransomware, and geopolitical risk
- Supply-chain and third-party risk management
- Zero Trust, identity security, and cloud-native security
- Resilience engineering, business continuity, and crisis management
- Regulatory, legal, disclosure, and compliance challenges
- Cybersecurity workforce development and leadership succession
- Incident-response lessons and real-world breach case studies
- Industry-specific security challenges
Speakers must be available to present virtually and should have access to a reliable internet connection, a high-quality camera, and a microphone.
Submissions should include a proposed presentation title, an informative abstract, relevant attendee learning objectives, and the speaker’s contact information, biography, and headshot.
Proposals must be educational, original, and completely vendor-neutral. Product pitches and presentations disguised as commercial content will not be considered. Submissions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, so prospective speakers are encouraged to submit early.
