Details:

The Annual Privacy and Security Conference and Exposition is recognized as one of the top tier events in North America. Anyone working in the information privacy and security fields will benefit from the speakers, discussions and networking at the conference. Attendees are from every level both within government and private industry. The two-day conference draws an international audience of some 1,200 delegates with an interest in cutting edge policy, programs, law, research and technologies aimed at the protection of privacy and security.

Hosted by the Province of British Columbia, along with its partners and sponsors, the Annual Privacy and Security Conference is renowned for its outstanding content, world class experts and excellent peer to peer networking opportunities with industry and government leaders.

The Privacy and Security Conference Committee is pleased to extend an invitation to those working within the broad privacy and security communities to submit papers on their area of expertise. Of particular interest are briefs on cutting-edge subjects and themes suitable for presentation in either:

• 1 hour presentation - In-depth speech that allows for detailed presentation of a topic and discussion time with attendees
• 1 hour discussion panel - These are moderated panels where each speaker has an allotted time (usually 15-20 minutes) and discussions can occur both between the speakers and the attendees
• 15 minute 'Lightning speech' - The 'lightning speech' is a concentrated presentation allowing the speaker to bring high energy and focus to a key area of interest. These speeches will be held in sequence as part of a one hour time slot.
• 15 minute 'Second chance' - This is for keynote or 1 hour speakers who would also like to provide a summary version of their speech. These may be scheduled in the same or next day. This allows interested attendees to listen to topics they may otherwise have missed due to schedule conflicts. These will be held in sequence as part of a one hour time slot.

The Committee will be selecting the papers and issuing the invitations to selected speakers. The intellectual property rights of those submitting papers for review will be respected throughout the process.
