Submit Proposal IconWe invite utility and industry participants to submit proposals to give 5-minute Lightning Talks. We are seeking proposals that focus on pressing issues or concerns for cybersecurity and resiliency of energy delivery systems in your organization, sector, or industry. Presentation slots are limited, but we’ll try to accommodate as many proposals as we can.

Slides and media are optional, but they must be loaded and presented from our laptop. Slide files will be required a week prior to the workshop. You may wish to reserve a portion of your five minutes for inquiry from CREDC researchers, but there will also be opportunities to continue discussing your topic during breaks and networking sessions. Please also indicate in your proposal if you anticipate requesting a few extra minutes to cover your topic.

The Lightning Talk session will likely take place on Tuesday, March 29 – but we may feature some at the Welcome Reception. Individuals submitting proposals should plan to attend both days of the workshop. Those selected to present a Lightning Talk will need to be registered or submit registration within one week of acceptance. By submitting a Lightning Talk proposal, you agree to sign a release to share slides and to use your image or likeness for promotional content.
