Submission Guidelines

• All proposed discussions will be at the UNCLASSIFIED level. We are not soliciting speakers for the classified session.
• Completion and submission of this form does not guarantee you a speaking slot at the conference. If your topic and expertise are a good match for the agenda, you will be contacted for further information.
• Speaking opportunities are voluntary. You will not be paid or reimbursed for any travel/lodging. Speakers must register as an attendee for the event (includes payment of the attendance fee).
• Be forward thinking. How does the government need to proceed to win?
• If your submission or presentation reads like a sales pitch or overt promotion of your company, products, or services, you will not be selected.
