Blackhat and Human Factors

As a member of the BlackHat Review Board, I would love to see more work on Human Factors presented there.

As a member of the BlackHat Review Board, I would love to see more work on Human Factors presented there. Over the past few years, we’ve developed an interesting track with good material year over year. The 2020 call for papers is open and closes April 6th.

I wrote a short blog post on what we look for.

The BlackHat CFP calls for work which has not been published elsewhere. We prefer fully original work, but will consider a new talk that explains work you’ve done for the BlackHat audience. Oftentimes, Blackhat does not count as “Publication” in the view of academic program committees, and so you can present something at BlackHat that you plan to publish later. (You should of course check with the other venue, and disclose that you’re doing so to BlackHat.)

If you’re considering submitting, I encourage you to read all three recommendations posts at https://usa-briefings-cfp.blackhat.com/
