We are looking for original, preferably technical presentations in the fields of information security. Presentations should last a minimum of 60 minutes and a maximum of two hours and be presented in English.

Please note that presentations that focus on marketing or directly promoting a company's products will not be accepted.

We will be accepting talk proposals until July 1, 2012. All submitted presentations will be reviewed by the t2 Advisory Board.

As usual, selected speakers will be reimbursed for travel and hotel costs. We also proud ourselves of taking good care of the speakers and there is always something going on during the evenings :)

We suggest strongly that you submit earlier rather than later, since we will close the CFP early once we receive enough quality submissions to fill the slots.

Please include the following with your submission:

1. Contact information (email, cell phone and postal address)
2. Country and city of origin for your travel to the conference, as well as nationality/passport for visa requirements
3. Brief biography (including employer and/or affiliations)
4. Title of the presentation
5. Presentation abstract
6. If your presentation references a paper or piece of software that you have published, please provide us with either a copy of the said paper or software, or an URL where we can obtain it.
7. List any other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be published/submitted

Please send the above information to cfp-2012 (at) lists.t2.fi

Information security is a hot topic these days as many countries are trying to write policies and suggest ways of living to their populations that will safeguard them against impending cyber attack. Despite all that’s being done, though, much uncertainty exists as references to traditional physical borders and analyses of countries as stand-alone sovereign nations no longer apply. Some attendees and speakers were interviewed for their opinions on information security by the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE).

If you want to have your say about t2'11 or the forthcoming conference, please send us feedback.

Also, please mark your calendars - t2'12 infosec will take place in Helsinki, Finland, from October 25 to 26, 2012 :)

We would also like to thank everyone who sent in presentation proposals. If your presentation proposal did not get approved, please keep in mind that we were very pleased to receive it. There were many interesting suggestions and ideas, and with our final selection, we did our very best to ensure that this year's program has “something for everyone”.

Hope to see you soon!

• Solving the t2'11 Challenge - Timo Teräs (Best write up)

The second ticket goes to Finland's Timo Teräs. Officially, he'll be known as Mr. Elegance for 2011. His write up was extremely well done and he pretty much found all the Easter eggs, too. This was no small feat by any means as the overall quality of the submitted write-ups this year was outstanding!

Congratulations to both winners!

We would like to thank everyone for participating. And, if you feel that you have an interesting Challenge to suggest for t2'12, please let us know :)
