Presentation Guidelines

If you've been selected to present, you'll be assigned to one of three categories:

  • Social Cybersecurity
  • NextG Security
  • Secure Systems

Each presenter will get 7 minutes to present their work. 

If your paper has been accepted and you would like to show slides at your presentation, we have a PowerPoint template for you to use.

Presentations are limited to three slides:

  • Slide one for your name and title
  • Slides two and three for your content.

Please note, any additional slides will be deleted out of respect for the time of all presenters.

The sessions’ purpose is to give researchers the opportunity to share their work, receive feedback from peers, and improve their papers. Research should be current or ongoing.

The presentation won’t count as being the paper’s publication, and CCI won’t hold a copyright. 

Researchers and faculty at public institutions in CCI deemed eligible by their home institutions to serve as a Principal Investigator (PI) on an external grant could apply. 

Students must have been enrolled at a Virginia institution of higher education at the time of the Symposium (April 15-16, 2024).
