From the Conference Committee:
In the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are anticipating
holding a physical conference here at KSU on October 23 and 24,
but as we finalize Principles of Incident Response & Disaster
Recovery, 3rd edition for our publisher – Cengage Learning, we are
realistic about the need for contingency planning. Therefore, we
have the following plans in place:
* The preferred option, of course is a traditional physical
conference, the same as last year. On Friday, October 23rd, we
would host a series of industry day panels and presentations, open
to all conference attendees, and to the KSU community as part of
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. On Saturday, October 24th,
we would host the conference proper for paid attendees only.
* As a contingency, we will plan to make the entire event virtual
if needed - following the AIS model. We will make the call by
September 1st as to whether or not we need to do this. IF we do go
virtual, each presenter will be asked to record
their presentation and be prepared to present it during their
session, followed by a live Q&A – with questions submitted by
Webex chat. Each track will be assigned a WebEx session, and
attendees can jump between tracks at will. A moderator will keep
things on schedule. Additional details will be provided if we must
go this route.
If we go virtual the conference registration fees will be
substantially lower. Since we can’t determine which rate will
apply until we make the call as to whether or not we will need to
go virtual, we won’t open registration up until that time.
In either event we need a good showing of papers to continue
forward with the conference. As always, the best papers will be
invited to submit to the Journal of Cybersecurity Education,
Research, and Practice, and all authors are expected to review
other papers for the conference.
Please submit a paper, and commit to supporting the conference.
One way or another, we'll see you then!
On behalf of the conference committee.

The Conference on Cybersecurity Education, Research, and Practice
