FS-ISAC Annual Summit 2013

April 28 - May 2, 2013

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONSDEADLINE: January 11, 2013

Presentation proposals from FS-ISAC members and sponsors are now being accepted for the FS-ISAC Annual Summit, scheduled for April 28 through May 2, 2013 at the Sawgrass Marriott in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

Financial Services - Information Sharing and Analysis Center

FS-ISAC sponsors the only industry forum for collaboration on critical security threats facing the financial services sector.

Tips for Selection:

  • The Scope of Your Personal Expertise and that of any Co-Speakers, Moderators or Panelists - You should be very well versed in the topic to be addressed and equally skilled at presenting. The Committee will be looking for evidence that the Speaker is an expert in the topic proposed. Are you considered an expert on this topic by your professional peers?
  • Selection & Timeliness of the Topic - Is this a topic of current importance to Summit attendees? Is it one our member firms are struggling to get their arms around? If it’s a topic that was of major importance at past Conferences, you may need a fresh approach to drive interest for this year. The Committee assesses both the technical merits of your proposal, as well as the potential interest of your presentation to attract attendees.
  • Educational Value of the Topic - The number one reason that sessions aren’t selected is that the Committee believes that the topic is a thinly disguised sales pitch. Be extremely objective in considering whether a member attendee might believe that your session is about marketing or selling your company’s products or services. Additionally, members respond very positively to detailed case studies and real implementation stories - both domestically and internationally. Members like to leave the conference equipped with “lessons learned”, something they can bring back to the office to improve their own job function.
  • Develop a Unique Approach to the Topic - Recognize that your professional peers may be submitting their proposals on a similar topic. Evaluate how to make your proposed topic stand-out from the crowd.
  • Consider Including a Member Firm - Feedback from prior Conferences indicates that case studies including members have been exceptionally well-received, so please take this into consideration.
