The most significant new discoveries about computer network hack attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and pragmatic real world security experience will be presented in a series of informative tutorials. The CanSecWest meeting provides international researchers a relaxed, comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key developments in security technology, and collaborate and socialize with their peers in one of the world's most scenic cities - a short drive away from one of North America's top skiing areas. In addition to the usual one hour tutorials, panel sessions and highly entertaining 5 minute "lightning" talks, this conference will also feature a new session called "Elevator Focus Groups". Featuring several short sessions, these commercial presentations will showcase new, significantly used, or dramatically innovative new products in the information security realm. Each selected vendor will have a short 10 minute presentation ("elevator pitch"), after which 10 minutes of audience Q&A and interactive discussion amongst the expert security practitioners attending will follow. In this session both the audience and the vendors can get valuable feedback from world leading experts and the attendees can get user evaluations and learn from sharing experiences and real world security applications about practical uses of the products - the "focus group." Hence the name: Elevator Focus Groups. The CanSecWest conference will also feature the availability of the Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei instructors, and their advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses - featuring small class sizes and practical application excercises to maximize information transfer. We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, lightning talk proposals, and elevator focus candidate products for selection by the CanSecWest technical review committee. Please make your paper proposal submissions before January 30th, 2006. Slides for the papers must be submitted by March 15th, 2006. Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for travel and accomodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and your biography, papers and, speaking background to core06@cansecwest.com. Only slides will be needed for the March paper deadline, full text does not have to be submitted - but will be accepted if available. The CanSecWest/core06 conference consists of tutorials on technical details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices in the information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work: security product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network administrators. We give preference to technical details and new education for a technical audience. The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a lecture theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and techniques. The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing significant new technology in the products. Paper proposals should consist of the following information: 1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport) and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax). 2) Employer and/or affiliations. 3) Brief biography, list of publications and papers. 4) Any significant presentation and educational experience/background. 5) Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph description. 6) Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an important tutorial. 7) Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready. 8) Will you have full text available or only slides? 9) Please list any other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be published/submitted. Please include the plain text version of this information in your email as well as any file, pdf, sxw, ppt, or html attachments. Please forward the above information to core06@cansecwest.com to be considered for placement on the speaker roster, have your lightning talk scheduled, or submit your product for inclusion in the focus groups.
