Have you ever wondered why CFP reviewers drink so much? Are you tired of having talks rejected from conferences without knowing why? Would you like to know what really makes reviewers happy or irritated to see? We can help! In our panel, we will discuss all of these things and more. The directors of BSides Las Vegas' Proving Grounds join up for a panel moderated by David Mortman in order to discuss their experiences writing and reviewing CFPs from first-time speakers.

Michael Ortega

Director of Proving Grounds track. Panel discussion participant. Talk to me about Info Sec Management, Mentorship, Paleo and picking stuff up

Guy McDudefella

Guy McDudefella started his first MS-DOS install at age 10 between the moment he deleted C:DOS from the family computer and the moment he answered a phone call from his parents saying they were on their way home from the movies. He’s been a hacker ever since. He currently works for Tenable as a compliance research engineer, and is also a henchman for his 1.5 year old son, the Human Human Badge.

David Mortman

Mortman wears a monocle by day and is a panemologist by night. He’s been doing this security thing for far longer than he’d like to consider, but if his career were a person it could legally drink.

Tottenkoph

Talk to me about mentoring, learning theory, motivation and habit formation, and anything sci-fi/fantasy
