Call for Proposals


This year’s theme, Blueprints for the Future: Building Together for a Secure Tomorrow, highlights the importance of collaboration across education, industry, and government to strengthen cybersecurity education and workforce development.

We invite proposals that advance cybersecurity education for students in high schools, colleges, and universities. Submissions should align with one of the following tracks:

  • Track 1: Innovative courseware, case studies, and hands-on activities
  • Track 2: Tips, emerging trends, and future directions
  • Track 3: Work-based learning and workforce development

Proposals may be submitted as a 90-minute workshop, a 45-minute concurrent session (presentation, panel, or Birds of a Feather discussion), or a 20-minute short talk. All sessions are delivered in person and include time for audience engagement.

Proposal Deadline: March 31, 2026.
Proposals submitted after this date may be considered if space remains in the program.
