I'm pleased to announce the opening of the Call for Papers (CFP) for InfoSec SouthWest 2013! ISSW2013 will be held Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21, in Austin, Texas, USA. The CFP will run six weeks, closing on February 15, 2013. We are also excited about our selection for this year's keynote speaker, Dan Guido. Mr. Guido will be kicking off the conference with remarks about his experiences in the educational and academic corners of infosec. So, while we will happily accept and review any reasonable submission for ISSW2013, papers and presentations dealing with the unique concerns of .edu are especially appreciated. Please send (at a minimum) a two to three paragraph abstract describing your work, as well as a short biographical blurb about the presenter(s) to . The more complete material you provide, the more likely your talk will be selected. Accepted presentations will be expected to fill time slots of approximately 50 minutes on a single track. ISSW2013 will also be hosting a continuous lightning talk venue, so if your work can be condensed to 15 minutes, you need not go through the CFP selection process. If you would like to be mentioned on the Turbo Talk agenda, though, please send in your name, topic title, and a brief, one to two sentence summary. The complete speaking agenda for ISSW2013 will be published on Friday, March 1, 2013, approximately two weeks after the CFP closes.
