Call for Borderless Cyber Conference Program Committee Members - deadline 29 Nov

Dear
CTI Members,

 

OASIS
is beginning the Program Committee selection process for our 2017 Borderless
Cyber series of events. Serving on a Program Committee offers an opportunity to
play a visible role in shaping our cyber security educational outreach. We hope
you'll consider getting involved.

 

Our
plan is to host at least two events next year. Efforts to secure a venue
 in the US and Europe are underway. New York City (in June) and The 
Hague (in September) are both being evaluated. Mr. Eric Burger, Research Professor of
Computer Science and Director at Georgetown Center for Secure Communications is confirmed to serve as our Borderless Cyber US Conference
Chair.    

So, what's involved in serving on the Program Committee? 

The Program Committee will be
responsible for ensuring compelling, well-balanced, high-quality content. Members
will: 

Establish program goals

Determine key topics and session categories

Suggest potential speakers and assist with speaker outreach

Evaluate and provide feedback on suggested speakers and/or topics  

Organize and
possibly chair conference sessions

Correspond with
     speakers before the event to ensure their successful participation

And help
publicize the conference via social media and other avenues

The
Program Committee will conduct its work via conference calls and email. The time
commitment will average around 4-6 hours per month during production of the
program.  Participating in bi-monthly teleconference calls during this
stage is mandatory. Program Committee members are also expected to
attend the conference and help introduce and facilitate sessions onsite, as
needed.  

 

How to apply

If
you'd like to be considered for one of the Borderless Cyber Program Committees,
please send your bio and contact details to  by Monday, 28 November.  Please note if you have a preference or are
only available to work on one event.

 

We hope you consider this opportunity to
get involved and help ensure the Borderless Cyber series continues to be a
success.  Looking forward to
hearing from you.

 

Regards, 

Jane
