Submission FAQs

The call for research is open to everyone and there is no charge to speak at the event. The event is strictly vendor neutral and is a forum for the open sharing of research, tools and techniques.

Please note:

The submission must be made by the speaker/s. Submissions by PR agencies or other third parties on behalf of a speaker will not be accepted. Any sales or product related presentations such as product demos will not be considered.

They take place on 18^th-19^th November 2020 at Javits Center New York City during Infosecurity New York City.

Each session is 45 minutes long to enable a deep-dive into the technical research/topic. This will include 35-40 minutes for the presentation and 5-10 minutes for Q&A.

Yes, there is no limit on the number of submissions you can make.

The review panel is looking for unique and original content, deep-diving into practical case studies and unique business solutions. Presentations that highlight new vulnerabilities and exploits will be particularly appealing to the review panel. Please do not reuse previous conference presentations, and let us know if the content has been presented before and where. If the content has been presented before please let us know how the Infosecurity Geek Street presentation will be different. Preference will be given to material that has not been presented before, however updates on earlier research are acceptable.

The presentation must include original research and concrete guidelines and best practices to protect against and mitigate the effects of any exploit that is revealed.
