The S4x27 agenda is now available. It’s going to be a great show.
The session titles and speakers for 90%+ are released. We are adding in the descriptions this week, and there are a few sessions we are working on finalizing.
If you went through the S4 CFP process, you know it is a bit different. The CFP submission is short and sweet. Get to the point about your big idea, groundbreaking research, or takeaway for the advanced OT security pro who we build S4 for. We review sessions as they come in, and there typically are a lot of messages back and forth. If you were on the S4 stage this year, you were unlikely to be selected for next year. And ties go to the first time on the S4 stage speaker.
We will be highlighting the sessions and themes over the next 3 months. One thing that probably won’t surprise you – – more than half the session proposals were AI focused. And it was harder than you might imagine to find quality AI sessions. Sessions that would be of interest to the AI attendee who has heard, read, and seen so much already on this topic. There is AI in the agenda, but it is much lower than 50% of the agenda.
We were surprised how many quantum cryptography and PQC sessions we received, and two made it on the agenda.
PS – Thanks to the 600+ who purchased a ticket to S4x27 prior to seeing the agenda. We appreciate the support and trust.
