*** CFP IS OPEN ***
CornCon 12 will have multiple speaking tracks over three days, plus workshops, trainings, contests, and an expo with several villages, partners and vendors. The CISO Executive Summit is by invitation only on Thursday. The “regular” conference is Friday and Saturday in Davenport, IA.
The tracks are intended to allow attendees to choose between general and more advanced topics. Talks will be 45 minutes including Q&A. We are open to proposals for villages as well as workshops/trainings (ranging from 60 minutes to three hours). We will contact you to discuss these if you submit a non-speaking track proposal.
This platform only allows one submission per email address. (Sorry!)
This conference spans all industries and interests, from small to large enterprises, public and private organizations, military, municipalities, manufacturing, transportation, heavily regulated industries, such as financial services, insurance and hospitals. CornCon also focuses on emerging technologies such as AI, Quantum Computing, VR/AR/Metaverse and their ethical use.
Topics we are interested in: Ransomware, Cyber Insurance, Internet of Things, Medical Devices, Use of AI, PQC, OT/Industrial Control Systems & Critical Infrastructure, Computer/Human Interfaces, Biohacking, Offensive/Defensive Techniques, Chaotic Actors, Surveillance, Intelligence Gathering, Data Visualization, Transportation Systems, Legal Issues, Mobile, Locks, Video Games, 0-day disclosures and demos, Trolling the Trolls and Bourbon. Note: We post videos of presentations on YouTube at corncon.tv.
*** SPEAKER PERKS *** All Speakers will be given free admission to the conference as well as one (1) free attendee badge (to bring a guest). There is a Speaker/VIP Reception Friday night that you will be invited to as well as the after party on Saturday. Speakers receive a speaker t-shirt and speaker badge.
The CFP will remain open for additional proposals and speakers until the Program Committee sees fit to stop. We really hope to have a full agenda and close the CFP by the end of June.
CornCon does not reimburse travel expenses. We are a small nonprofit with a small budget. I can promise that you will receive sufficient food and drink to survive!
