IMPORTANT: Due to the highly technical subject of the congress, and

should do get will be considered and valued with all its importance:
it is very important for the Congress to receive such proposals, and
they depend on you to organize the best event possible.

-=] Critical points to consider

1. Time management and the duration of the talks are one of the
critical points in the Congress. Rather, they should ask for a longer
talk than trying to rush twenty minutes, without allowing time for
audience questions.

2. It will be appreciated EXCLUSIVE talks, which not previously
published in any other forum, blog, website, event or conference.

3. We believe in the responsible Full-disclosure so, if the idea is to
present a Zero-Day, we want confirmation from that has contacted the
manufacturer / victim, if this contact has not been made, we offer to
manage the contact.

4. A cause for termination of the relationship between the Speaker and
RootedCON is to not deliver of (every) material on the date indicated.

5. PLEASE, it's very important to * CLEARLY * indicate if
accommodation and travel is needed or not when you submit your
proposal, Rooted reserves the right not to meet such needs if it is
not initially requested.
