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,

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.

experience/background.

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,
