Last week to get your @CYBERWARCON submissions in! Don’t miss out!
hultquist.bsky.social
We've got some good submissions flowing into the @CYBERWARCON CFP, but there's still time for more. If you have good content, and you're worried the honorarium won't cover your travel, please submit, and we'll work it out. We do this because we believe this research matters.
