(ISC)² announced a global call for speakers for its 10th annual Security Congress conference, to be held November 16-18 in Orlando, Fla.

Security Congress 2020 will offer more than 150 educational and thought leadership sessions across roughly 15 tracks from a roster of an estimated 200 speakers. These sessions will aid security leaders by arming them with the latest knowledge, tools and expertise to protect their organizations.

With a theme of “Enrich. Enable. Excel.” the conference will focus on bringing together leading cybersecurity professionals to advance industry best practices. Over the course of the three-day event, nearly 3,000 cybersecurity professionals, including researchers, frontline practitioners, CISOs and CIOs are expected to share information on the industry’s most pressing topics, including critical infrastructure, IoT, privacy, cloud security, professional development and more.

“Security Congress has become one of the premier cybersecurity conferences in the industry where experts on a wide range of topics meet to exchange best practice insights and stay up to speed on the latest developments,” said Wesley Simpson, COO, (ISC)². “In developing the agenda for the event, we seek out and select the best cybersecurity speakers from around the world to share their experiences and knowledge with the security practitioners who are in the best position to inspire a safe and secure cyber world.”

Speaker applicants can either submit for an individual presentation or panel presentation. All submissions require a five step process, which must be fully completed in order to be considered. Proposals must be non‐sales and non‐marketing oriented and no fees are required to submit a proposal.

All applications must include a title, a proposal abstract, with a limit of 125 words, and three learning objectives to impart to attendees. After the March 22 submission deadline, (ISC)² staff and industry professionals will review the submissions.
