The Stages

The Main Stage

The place for Big Ideas for all attendees. You will be asked to submit your Big Idea in one or two sentences, and then you can provide additional detail. The Big Idea doesn’t have to be completely new. It could be a spin or different way of looking at something. We also put related field sessions on the big stage such as insurance, economics, international relations, reputation management, etc.

This stage seats 1,000 people (1,500 for keynotes) and has a 5-camera shoot. 

Stage 2 – Technical Deep Dives

Stage 2 is S4’s heritage. Very detailed, highly technical sessions. You can’t get too technical for the Stage 2 audience. This is the reason they come to S4. The key here is to focus on what is new and important about your technical session. What new exploit, testing method, post exploit technique, protection or detection approach, … do you want to share with the audience?

Stage 2 seats 600 people and is a 4-camera shoot.

Stage 3

Stage 3 is for sessions that will appeal to a subsection of the S4 attendees, a niche. It could be a specific industrial sector. It could be for a specific asset owner role. Or it could be something that you feel isn’t big enough for the Main Stage or technical enough for Stage 2. Stage 3 seats 350 people and is a 3-camera shoot. Stage 3 has had some standing room only sessions at recent S4 events.
