RE: CALL FOR PAPERS: WEST AFRICAN DIGITAL AND COMPUTER FORENSICS CONFERENCE, 18th – 20th April, 2012
Thank you for your interest in speaking at the upcoming 2012 West African Digital and Computer Forensics Conference in Abuja, FCT, Nigeria from 18th – 20th April, 2012.
Please note that the Call for Papers’ Deadline is: 10th March, 2012 (except where an extension is given by special approval).
The West African Digital and Computer Forensics Conference will focus on all aspects of information/cyber security, digital forensics, evidence collection, and crime scene documentation. Sessions are for industry and academic professionals with experience in these disciplines. Depth of knowledge and skill in the area(s) selected for presentation are a must.
Speakers are expected to include the latest trends, technology, and ideas. Their presentations should be non-commercial and not promote a particular product or company.
To indicate your interest in submitting a paper, email to the address below the following:
1. An Abstract of approximately 100 words. It should include a title (clearly stating the proposed topic) and an outline of the contents. If your paper is accepted, this abstract will be used to describe and promote your session, so please write it with this in mind.
2. Your Biography should be an approximately 60-word summary of your professional background and any other relevant professional and industry qualifications. If there is more than one presenter, please provide a biography for both. (Number of presenters is limited to two. Additional speakers are subject to approval.) If your paper is accepted, this biography will be used in the conference materials, so please write it with this in mind. Please submit a passport photograph (headshot) with your biography to be used in the conference materials. You are free to attach a CV just in case we need to include additional information about you.
Sessions are 60 minutes in length; with fifteen minutes allowed for questions and answers (i.e. each Speaker has 45 minutes). If you feel that additional time is needed for your presentation, please indicate how long and offer strong justification. (Time allotments are subject to approval.) Company logos or other commercial content are not allowed on your graphics and slides and you will be asked to remove them if they appear.
Previously Presented Material: If this paper has been presented elsewhere, please indicate where and when. Prior presentation of the material will not eliminate it from consideration, but we are looking primarily for material that our audience has not seen before.
Specify whether or not you are speaking on behalf of a company or yourself and identify the company you work for.
No Substitutions: Substitution of speakers or panelists is not allowed except in the case of an emergency. In the event of an emergency where the original selected speaker is not available a written request for substitution may be considered, but strictly at the sole discretion of the organizer.
Audio/Visuals: Identify Audio/Video requirements for your presentation. We will provide one LCD projector and a wireless lapel or hand held microphone unless otherwise instructed.
Please bring your presentation on a laptop along with a spare copy on CD in the event of machine failure.
Please Note: The West African Digital and Computer Forensics Conference does not pay for airfare, hotel accommodations, or other expenses for speakers. You will receive free registration to the conference as well as promotional conference materials and marketing pieces.
Acceptance of Papers: Submission of an abstract does not guarantee placement. Notification of acceptance will be emailed before or latest by 14th March, 2012.
SUBMISSION OF FULL PAPER (PowerPoint Presentation) must be submitted by: 2nd April, 2012 for a Speaker to be listed in the Conference Programme (to allow for time to go to the press in time for the Conference).
Your Contact Information: Please include complete contact information for all presenters, i.e. full names, phone numbers, and email address. (Communication will be mainly via e-mail.)
