ABOUT HIVERCON
In its second year, HiverCon is the only corporate European centric 
information security conference that caters for an international 
audience. Following last years conference, HiverCon 2003 will bring 
together the leading minds in the international security industry for an 
intense two day event. HiverCon covers the breaking security issues as 
well as the issues that are not quite upon us. More importantly HiverCon 
strives to teach the thinking and methodologies taken by hackers and 
researchers when breaking security.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
HiverCon 2003 will cover a range of topics on current issues in the 
security field. Below are guideline topics for paper submission, but is 
by no means a definitive list, we especially welcome new research and 
previously untouched topics.

 * Wireless Security
 * Intrusion Detection
 * Privacy & Anonymity
 * Firewall Technologies
 * Application Security
 * Incident Response and Computer Forensics
 * Security Auditing
 * Biometrics

All talks should be 75 minutes in length including time for delegate
participation and questions at the end of the presentation.  Inclusion 
of any talk related tools, white papers or source code will help during 
the selection process. While we try to facilitate speakers' requests 
for equipment, we may not be able to accommodate all requests. In cases 
where we cannot guarantee special equipment the speaker is expected to 
supply hardware and/or software. Each speaker is also expected to bring 
their own laptop to display their presentation. 

All talks must be vendor neutral, while speakers are welcome to present
on behalf of a company - sales pitches will be thrown out.

REMUNERATION
For each chosen presentation HiverCon will pay for 1 round trip economy
flight, 1 hotel room for 3 nights and 1 speaking fee of 1,000 Euro.

SPEAKER REQUIREMENTS
Please include the following information with your submission:

1. What title you are submitting your paper under.
2. A valid e-mail address AND telephone number where you can be reached.
3. Number of people that will be presenting.
4. A brief biography on why you are qualified to speak on your topic. 
   This will be used on www.hivercon.com as well as in any press material 
   for the conference.
5. If you are speaking under a company name, please specify for which 
   company you work.

Talks detailing new research and vulnerabilities will get priority during 
the evaluation process. HiverCon is one of the few corporate security 
conferences that not only pays a speaker honourium but covers speaker 
travel and accommodation costs, and as such we favour talks that present 
original material that has not been seen before.

to reproduce, distribute and/or advertise your talk as seen fit.
