Call for Papers The InfoSec Southwest staff are now soliciting papers to be presented at our 2013 conference to be held April 19th through April 21st 2013 in Austin, Texas.

Who Should Submit InfoSec Southwest is intended to be a general security and hacking conference with no specific industry or topical focus. As such, nearly all topics (other than vendor pitches) are fair game and the attending audience is expected to span all demographics. Thus, we cordially invite anyone who has a paper to present to submit for inclusion in the conference.

Conference Format InfoSec Southwest currently has two tracks slated for presentation. The first track is intended for traditional, full-length presentations and lectures. This is the track where lectures selected via the CFP process will be presented. The second track is modeled after our local AHA! (Austin Hackers Association) group's monthly meetings and is an open forum for first-come, first-served lighting and turbo talks.

Submission Procedure Ensure that your materials are COMPLETE! It is far easier for us to review, and will increase your chances of being selected, if you submit full and complete materials. Such materials may include the full paper you are submitting, lecture slides that you will be using, and all of the information listed below.
