RootedCON is always looking for quality sponsors and partners. If you have a

you think your company may be interested, please contact us at:

sponsors-AT-rootedcon.com

IMPORTANT: Due to the highly technical subject of the congress, and the 
preferences shown by attendees
in multiple surveys, we encourage potential sponsors who intend to have a slot 
as speaker attempting to adapt as far as possible to the tastes of most
RootedCON asset you have: its audience.

Any help, comments, ideas, suggestions or collaborations that we should do get 
will be considered and
valued with all its importance: it is very important for the Congress to 
receive such proposals, and
they depend on you to organize the best event possible.



-=] Critical points to consider

1. Time management and the duration of the talks are one of the
critical points in the Congress. Rather, they should ask for a longer talk
than trying to rush twenty minutes, without allowing time for audience 
questions.

2. It will be appreciated EXCLUSIVE talks, which
not previously published in any other forum, blog, website, event or conference.

3. We believe in the responsible Full-disclosure so, if the idea is to present a
Zero-Day, we want confirmation from that has contacted the manufacturer / 
victim, if this
contact has not been made, we offer to manage the contact.

4. A cause for termination of the relationship between the Speaker and 
RootedCON is to not deliver
of (every) material on the date indicated.

5. PLEASE, it's very important to * CLEARLY * indicate if accommodation and
travel is needed or not when you submit your proposal, Rooted
reserves the right not to meet such needs if it is not initially requested.
