We invite industry workshop participants to submit proposals to give 5-10 minute Lightning Talks. Proposals should focus on new ideas, research topics, or pressing issues/concerns for cybersecurity and/or cyber-resiliency of energy delivery systems. Presentation slots are limited, but we’ll try to accommodate as many proposals as we can.

Slides are optional but highly encouraged as they will help you organize your thoughts for the rapid session format. Discussions will be held during break periods so that this session may progress on time. If using slides, they will be required a week prior to the workshop and must be loaded and presented from our laptop for ease of transition between speakers.

Since we are not yet certain when on the agenda we will schedule the Lightning Talks, individuals submitting proposals should plan to attend the entire workshop event. Those selected to present a Lightning Talk will need to be registered or submit registration within one week of acceptance.
