Shakacon III
"Sun, Surf, and C Shells"
CALL FOR PAPERS
www.shakacon.org\2009CFP.html
------------------------------------------
Who: Shakacon Crew
What: Shakacon III
When: June 11 - 12 2009
Where: Paradise (Honolulu, HI - Hawaii Convention Center)
Why: Why NOT?
How: By plane, boat, canoe, yacht, hydrofoil, stand-up paddle board, jet ski,
long board, dolphin, whale sled, nuclear submarine, etc.
[Overview]
Sitting around somewhere freezing your a$$ off? Dreaming about warm days,
rainbows, decadent
tropical drinks sipped out of coconuts? Sure you could drop your 0day in Vegas,
bring down the
Internet in Germany, or satisfy your dark desires in Asia but we think you
should submit your
research or topics to our CFP and maybe win yourself a paid trip to Hawaii.
The Shakacon security conference is a laid back conference where industry,
government, academia
and independent experts will get together to share knowledge and experience in
one of the most
beautiful places on Earth.
Shakacon will offer local, national, and international participants a casual,
social, learning
environment designed to present a "holistic" security view and the opportunity
to network with
peers and fellow enthusiasts in a relaxed setting. Leave your ego at the
airport (or shoreline
if you come in via another method)as we look forward to attendees varying in
skill level from N00b
to Ninja.
During the day, sessions will include: best practices, case studies, research
projects, etc.
covering all different aspects of the information security landscape . There
will be something
for everyone and if sitting through talks isn't your cup of kava, there will be
exciting events
and contests for you to sharpen your skills and knowledge on.
[Trainer Opportunities]
Don't want to speak at the Con but have an uncanny ability to teach and a
proven track record for
delivering quality courseware and want to come to Hawaii? We're also interested
in bringing in trainers
to provide world class training leading up to ShakaCon (June 8, 9, 10). Submit
a synopsis/class agenda, prior
teaching experience, and maybe get selected to teach in Hawaii.
[CFP Details]
(1) Abstract for papers must be submitted to the review committee by _February
15th, 2009_.
(2) Selection notification will occur by _February 27th, 2009_ and abstracts
posted to the site
on _March 1, 2009_.
(3) Slides for your papers must be submitted by _April 15, 2009_.
There are only a limited number of speaking sessions for which the conference
organizers will provide
travel and accommodations. Speaking slots should be generally limited to 1
hour; however we will
accept "turbo" talk submissions and if we have enough we'll blend them into a
block of the conference.
The audience will be a broad mix of professional, academic, and enthusiast, so
we welcome both technical
and non-technical submissions on all aspects of security. The key criteria are
practicality and timeliness.
We want to provide our attendees with up to date materials they can take away
and immediately gain
benefit from as well as new research or tools. Absolutely NO SALES
presentations will be accepted - our
attendees don't show up to hear people talk about what you can sell them or why
they need your services - or how
your new anti0daySaaSuberfuzzymagadget will solve all their security woes.
Proposals should include:
<Subject Line:>
"Shakacon CFP Submission: <paper title>, <your name>"

1. Name, address, and contact info.
2. Employer and/or affiliations.
3. Brief biography.

5. Topic summary.
6. Reason this topic should be considered.
7. Other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be

as well as any file attachments.

candidates.
