All the best, n3td3v Forwarded conversation Subject: [Full-disclosure] BA-Con 2008 CFP - Buenos Aires, Sept. 30 / Oct. 1 (closes July 11 2008) ------------------------ From: Dragos Ruiu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 5:05 PM To: full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk BA-Con 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- The first annual BA-Con applied technical security conference - where the eminent figures in the international and South American security industry will get together and share best practices and technology - will be held in Buenos Aires on September 30 and October 1st. 2008. The most significant new discoveries about computer network hack attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and pragmatic real world security experience will be presented in a series of informative tutorials. The BA-Con meeting provides local and international researchers a relaxed, comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key developments in security technology, and collaborate and socialize with their peers in one of South America's largest metropolises. All material will be translated into both Spanish and English. Evening social activities will be planned to provide personal networking opportunities. The BA-Con conference will also feature the availability of the Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei instructors, and their advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses - featuring small class sizes and practical application exercises to maximize information transfer. We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, lightning talk proposals for selection by the international BA-Con technical review committee. Please make your paper proposal submissions before July 11th, 2008. Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for travel and accommodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and your biography, papers and, speaking background to secwest08 [at] ba-con.com.ar . Only slides will be needed for the September paper deadline, full text does not have to be submitted - but will be accepted and translated on a best effort basis if available. The BA-Con 2008 conference consists of tutorials on technical details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices in the information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work: security product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network administrators. We give preference to technical details and new education for a technical audience. The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a lecture theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and techniques. The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing significant new technology in the products. Paper proposals should consist of the following information: 1. Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport) and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax). 2. Employer and/or affiliations. 3. Brief biography, list of publications and papers. 4. Any significant presentation and educational experience/background. 5. Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph description. 6. Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an important tutorial. 7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready. 8. Will you have full text available or only slides? 9. Please list any other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be published/submitted. 10. Do you have any special demo or network requirements for your presentation? Please include the plain text version of this information in your email as well as any file, pdf, sxw, ppt, or html attachments. Please forward the above information to secwest08 [at] ba-con.com.ar to be considered for placement on the speaker roster, have your lightning talk scheduled. We would like to extend a special thanks to our local partners at Core Security Technologies, and the gracious sponsorship of Microsoft, and Symantec for making this event possible and letting us keep the registration fee lower in local currency while letting us cover the costs of international speakers. cheers, --dr -- World Security Pros.
