Process

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

  • Program Committee Selection—Speakers and sessions are selected by the RSA Conference™ 2027 Program Committee, an independent panel of volunteer judges from the enterprise, government, academic, and vendor communities.
  • Submitter and Speaker Notification—All submitters and proposed participants will be notified via email in January 2027 on the status of their submissions.

Online steps for submitting content for RSAC
Only online submissions are accepted.

Step 1: Login/Create an Account
You will be asked to login to the Call for Submissions process for RSA Conference™.

Step 2: Select Submission Path
You need to select which Call for Submissions path you are submitting to—Traditional Track Sessions or Learning Labs.

Step 3: Submitter Identification
Speakers must make their own submission. If you are submitting on behalf of someone else, you—or someone from your company—must also be part of the session (i.e., co-speaker or panel session). If you are making a submission on behalf of someone else and you are not part of the session, the submission will not be accepted.

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

Step 5: Proposed Participant Information
Add participants to your submission. Note: Participants will receive a confirmation email for your submission. Make them aware you are including them on your session so there are no surprises. Any session submitted without the knowledge of the participants is subject to disqualification.

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 edit button.

Step 7: Session Submission Complete
Click home to submit another session, or exit. The online submission process times out after 20 minutes. Save your submission after each step. You can retrieve your submission and complete it or edit it at any time by logging back into the system. The submission must be completed online.

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 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.
