Call For Papers
We want you to help us make BSides Ottawa 2022 the best year ever! As with our venue at the Brookstreet Hotel, we are looking for fresh ideas, research and innovation that will simply blow our minds.
If you are interested in donning your tin foil hat and rocking our stage this year, for our 10th event, please submit a 2-3 paragraph summary of your talk to cfp@bsidesottawa.ca no later than October 31, 2022.
This Year’s Topics
We would like to note that topics of interest do not necessarily have to be focused on a specific security
domain. They can also help the community to better understand what is going on around us and the
challenges presented to government, industry and academia at home and abroad in the security industry.
Here are just a few ideas to fire up the circuits…
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Cryptocurrency / Blockchain
- Dark Web / OSINT
- Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence
- 5G / IoT / Edge / Cloud Security
- Zero Trust Security Model
- Digital Privacy and Cyber Resilience
- Training NextGen Professionals

- Attack and Defence Strategies
- Digital Forensics
- Malware Analysis
- WebApp Security
- ISO/IEC 27001 and Cyber Essentials
Review and Acceptance Process
The BSides Ottawa 2022 Organizing Committee will vote on the submissions and notify you by October 31, 2022 (Halloween).
- Any presentations or talks deemed to be of a marketing or sales pitch nature will be politely
rejected; and, - BSides is all about sharing and education for those who may not otherwise have access to it. We will
be recording all presentations for later distribution. If the recording and live streaming of your
presentation poses an issue for you, perhaps this isn’t the right venue for your talk.
Submissions must be in plain text and specify:
a. your preferred email address;
b. if you are representing anyone (yourself, company name, group name);
c. the title and detailed abstract for your presentation; and
d. the approximate length of your presentation.
Additionally, your submission must answer the following questions.
1. Has this material been presented elsewhere? If so, where and when?
2. Will you be traveling to Ottawa, ON, Canada for the event? If so, from where?
