We Want to Hear from You

This year our FISSEA Call for Proposals will be open year-round. Submissions may be sent at any time, but keep an eye out for deadlines for your proposal to be considered for specific events. The next deadline, for those wishing to present at the FISSEA Spring Forum is March 18, 2022 at 11:59pm ET.

Celebrating 35 Years of Working Together & Shaping the Future

Join us for our Spring Forum by sharing your expertise and creative ideas focusing on awareness and training of information and cybersecurity. FISSEA is seeking presentations on these topics of interest:

• Working Together to Build Innovative Approaches to Awareness and Training Programs
• Shaping Future Workspaces Through Awareness and Training Programs
• Working Collaboratively to Shape the Future Cybersecurity Workforce

Presentations are 30 minutes in length. We are also seeking FISSEA Ignite! Sessions, which can be pre-recorded video. FISSEA Ignite! is 7 – 10 minute presentations where you discuss an idea you are passionate about – it is a creative, informative, and maybe opinionated session designed to create thoughtful discussions about key topics in cybersecurity awareness and training programs.

Remember the March 18^th submission deadline!
