VB2019 call for last-minute papers closes on Sunday (1 Sept)

The majority of the

VB2019 programme

was announced in April, and though we like to see VB as a conference that looks beyond the hype, we are more than a little proud that several of the talks have made the security news in recent months: from

Operation Soft Cell

to the

Machete APT group

and from the

Sea Turtle attacks

to the

weaponization of RTF documents

by APT groups.

However, many things have happened since April, and to allow room on the programme to cover recent developments we always set aside a number of slots for ‘last-minute papers’.

The

call for last-minute papers

closes on Sunday 1 September. Despite the name, we do not require those selected to

write

a paper; all we ask is for those selected to deliver a 30-minute talk at VB2019 in London.

The 1 September deadline is strict. This is in part because of the tight time limit (we intend to announce the selected talks late next week) but also because we can afford to: we already have more submissions than we need ─ however you shouldn’t see this as a reason not to submit!

So don’t forget to

submit

an abstract by Sunday and don’t hesitate to contact us (
