Who Should Submit
Diversity of thought is critical to any organization's success, and SANS
Summits encourage participation by everyone regardless of age, culture,
religious affiliation, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender
identification. Whatever your background, whoever you are, we encourage
you to respond to a CFP.
We welcome people who are newer to the field or
who have not yet done any public speaking. We offer mentoring at every stage of the process to help you develop an impactful presentation. Please contact us at SummitSpeakers@sans.org if you have any questions.
