Over almost three decades, the Virus Bulletin Conference<\/a> has built a reputation as a conference that produces solid content. While you might be forgiven for thinking this comes from having experienced speakers with decades’ worth of experience doing security research, this is not always the case\u00a0\u2013 it is often the bright minds of rising stars that bring important new insights to the conference floor.<\/p>\n

As such, it not only<\/em> experienced speakers that we look out for when putting together the conference programme. We always aim for a diverse programme, not just in terms of topics and the speakers’ backgrounds, but also when it comes to the experience of speakers. We can all learn something from the fresh angle a new speaker can bring, or from the knowledge of a speaker who has thus far kept their work to themselves just as much as from the well-seasoned conference presenter.<\/p>\n

Indeed, we are proud to have given some less well experienced speakers both the opportunity and the support required to deliver their papers at VB in the past and from there to go on speak at many other events.<\/p>\n

What’s more, aside from presenting their work to industry peers at the event itself, many VB Conference speakers find that their written papers (which form part of the Conference Proceedings – a book containing the papers that accompany each of the presentations) are also referenced on security blogs, in whitepapers, and sometimes even in academic research, and in some cases continue to be referenced long after the close of the conference at which they were presented.<\/p>\n

If you need any convincing to submit a proposal<\/a> for VB2020, have a look at some of the things past VB Conference speakers\u00a0\u2013 both newcomers and seasoned presenters\u00a0\u2013 have said about their experiences.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really stinkin\u2019 proud of this paper. 12 mths ago I\u2019d never analyzed a piece of malware & knew nothing about Android. Leaving my comfort zone of HW & firmware hacking was terrifying. Honestly, I didn\u2019t know if I\u2019d be good at or enjoy anything else. Boy I\u2019m glad I took the leap pic.twitter.com\/sVmHr3Nx0E<\/a><\/p>\n

Had a talk on #Emotet<\/a> at #VB2019<\/a> and I am still alive????What\u2019s more I have so much fun here! I have huge fears from public speaking but I faced it!
Besides, I\u2019m super grateful for being nominated to P\u00e9ter Szor award with my Matrix ransomware research! It\u2019s an incredible honour!?? pic.twitter.com\/Dgx7cNnbAr<\/a><\/p>\n

I was honored and grateful for the chance of presenting some of the research work I did into #FacialRecognition<\/a> and #surveillance<\/a> tech at the recent #VB2019<\/a>. The conference was great and the people I met even greater. A big thank you to the organizers and all who engaged with me. pic.twitter.com\/q9dvUfqNul<\/a><\/p>\n
