It is almost time for Atlassian’s annual security conference Team Sec Con!

Team Sec Con is all set to showcase the latest and greatest in Cloud Security. This is your chance to share something you are passionate about and drive change and innovation.

As part of the overall event agenda, we want to hear from you on the topics you are most passionate about to help inspire and the expand the minds of other folks looking to get started or ramping up in the cloud security space.

We are looking for speakers that…

  • Are excited about the cloud and cloud migration

  • Have a unique and intriguing way of presenting their session

If any of these apply to you, we want to hear from you in any way you would like to share: whether it is through your most inspiring stories, greatest challenges, biggest wins, technical tips and tricks, or industry insights and expertise!

Tips for a winning proposal

The following criteria will all be considered by the selection committee in evaluating proposals:

  • Relevance:

    • To the conference theme of Getting Started in Cloud Security

    • The event is suited to all levels, from those who are “security curious” and are exploring the field, to those who have years of experience and are looking to explore and discuss novel perspectives.

  • Reach & Impact:

    • How widely applicable are the takeaways from your topic? Will the audience find value in the time commitment for your topic?

  • Direct Experience:

    • What have you done on this topic?

    • What have you learned that you believe should be shared with the audience?

  • Uniqueness:

    • As with any event, we may receive some overlapping proposals and have to evaluate which version is most compelling.

  • Thoughtfulness:

    • We want to make sure the attendees get something valuable out of each talk regardless of their experience level in security!

    • Regardless of what your talk is about, it should have enough background so that even someone new to cybersecurity will be able to engage and have enough context to ask further questions during the Q&A portion.
