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.
