Presentation topic

The main theme is cybersecurity and its relation to AI, for example: AI Malware & Adversarial AI, AI in Offensive/Defensive Security, Machine Learning Security, AI Threat Hunting / Incident Response, AI Ethics & Privacy (or other topics related to AI). Your speaking time is a maximum of 25 minutes, and please allow time for the audience to ask questions. 

In this field, we always have experienced speakers and great talks. However, we always encourage new faces to share at the BSides Conference. Especially in Vietnam, at a security event that is the first to adhere to the principles of BSides globally. Moreover, we hope to encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to participate and commit to providing a safe and friendly environment for everyone.  

The submission process is quite simple — you just need to provide a summary of your talk, along with a more detailed description, ideally with an outline of the content you intend to present, and send it to us through the links on this page. 

The selection process

After the submission deadline ends, each submission will be evaluated and scored by a small group of members from the Program Committee based on specific criteria such as technical depth, novelty, ability to generate interesting discussions, etc. When all scores are compiled, the organizing committee and the program committee will meet to select the submissions with the highest scores in most criteria.

  

Some tips for your submission to be well-rated:

  • Strictly adhere to the required format 

  • No advertising products or selling 

  • No demo presentations or videos in the speech 

  • No use of AI-generated content 

  • New or significantly different content compared to previously published materials is a plus 

  • Take enough time, care, and attention for your submission. If the submission is careless or lacks clarity, it will hinder our ability to evaluate accurately, and it will be rejected.
