Call For Papers: Suits and Spooks DC Feb 11-12, 2016

The National Press Club Washington DC

I'm thrilled to announced that our Suits and Spooks DC event for Feb 11-12, 2016 will be held at the National Press Club. We're going to be doing a lot of things differently including offering live streaming tickets for those who can't attend in person thanks to the National Press Club's wonderful in-house AV system.

Our event will be broken down into four 4-hour blocks, each with a designated theme:

1. Aerospace
2. Critical Infrastructure
3. Finance
4. Warfare

The Aerospace block will feature threats against commercial aviation, unmanned aerial systems, GPS, satellites and space travel, and airborne weapons systems.

The Critical Infrastructure block will feature threats against the power grid, water supply, transportation, shipping, and telecommunication sectors.

The Finance block will feature talks on cryptocurrencies, the cyber security investment boom, ransomware, and the global stock and commodity exchanges.

The Warfare block will feature talks on cyber attacks and international law, the Wassennar Arrangement, export controls on offensive and dual use tools, Second Amendment issues, and more.

Attendees will have the option of buying tickets for only one block, multiple blocks, or a full conference pass. All talks will be single-track. 

CALL FOR PAPERS

If you'd like to submit a talk for one of these four blocks or propose a panel, please submit it by November 1st. 

If you'd like to learn more about sponsorship options, please contact us.

Super early bird tickets will go on sale later this month.
