Full CFP info: http://44con.com/cfp2015/
CFP Registration: https://cfp.44con.com/
Tickets *available now*: http://shop.44con.com/

44CON London will comprise of two main presentation tracks, one workshop track. The Hidden track is run under the Chatham House Rule and we’re not going to tell you about that but you can submit suitable talks for it.

Technical and Infosec Professional presentations & workshops will be accepted. Presentations are 45 minutes long with 5 minutes for Q&A. Workshops are of flexible length with a minimum of 60 minutes including setup/breakdown time.

* A presentation on the main tracks is in front of a seated audience.
* A presentation on the Mixed/Workshop track can be more interactive/informal and is with a smaller audience.
* A Workshop is like a mini training course - e.g. take a single executable and show a walkthrough on IDA Pro. Follow through a scenario based workshop e.g an incident response from a management and technical view with the audience etc.

This is NOT a call for training. Training takes place the 7th/8th/9th/14th/15th September and details of the 2015 training courses are due to be announced shortly.

Submissions should be sent via the CFP website https://cfp.44con.com/ which has been available for entries from the 23rd March 2015. Submissions sent via email will not be accepted.

Priority is generally given to new presentations over those presented elsewhere. If you have a presentation that you have or will give elsewhere prior to 44CON London and wish to submit, please let us know in your submission, and inform us of the changes you intend to make for 44CON London.

If your talk or workshop is new, please let us know the details of other conference(s) to which you have or intend to submit. 

New talks tend to score higher than repeat talks in the CFP review stage but this is not a hard and fast rule. If you plan to repeat a talk less than 6 months after 44CON London, please let us know.
