Process

Your submission passes through the following steps during the selection process:

  • Program Committee Selection – Speakers and sessions are selected by the RSA Conference Program Committee, an independent panel of volunteer judges from the enterprise, government, academic and vendor community. 
  • Submitter and Speaker Notification – All submitters and proposed participants will be notified via email February 2023 on the status of their submission.

Online Steps for Submitting content for RSAC:

Step 1: Login/Create an Account
You will be asked to login to the Call for Submissions process for RSA Conference. If you have made a submission or participated in RSA Conference in the past, you will be asked to log in using your previous speaker account information. If you do not recall your previous account information, please click the “Forgot password?” link and your information will be sent to you.

If you do not already have an account, you will be asked to create a new account to make your submission.

Step 3: Submitter Identification
You (the submitter) need to provide/update your contact information.

Step 4: Session Information
Provide session details as requested. Detailed definitions and instructions can be found in our Tips for Submission. Pay careful attention to character count limits. Please be sure the details of your session clearly articulate what your session will be about.

Step 5: Proposed Participant Information
Note: Participants will be notified they have been added to your session submission. Please be sure you have made them aware of your intention to include them on your session so they are not caught off guard. Any session submitted without the knowledge of the participants is subject to disqualification. Add participants to your submission.

Step 6: Session Information Review
Review and edit all information that you’re submitting for both the presentation and the proposed participant(s). If you need to make changes, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the appropriate edit button to make your changes.

Step 7: Session Submission Complete
You can make changes to your submission, click home to submit another session, or exit.


The online submission process times out after 20 minutes. We recommend that you save your submission after each step. You can retrieve your submission and complete it at any time by logging back into the system.

The best approach is to download the offline submission form for the appropriate path you are submitting to in order to determine the information you need to provide in advance. We recommend that you first fill in the form offline and then copy and paste your responses into the online submission form. This option is the best approach to avoid losing your valuable work and information.

We strongly recommend that you first review our Tips for Submission before developing your session proposal. Detail and diversity are extremely important in helping the Program Committee differentiate between the perspective and expertise of the many submissions they review.
