Call for Proposals

Proposal Submission Deadline is Sunday, 25 October 2009

Be a Speaker in Lisbon!

On the right hand bank of the river Tagus, Lisbon is a city built on seven hills, whose legendary history stretches back over twenty centuries. Lisbon can be summed up in one word: variety. From the 12th-century cathedral to the modern bridges spanning the Tagus River, from the 18th-century Aguas Livres aqueduct to the futuristic Oriental Station, Lisbon traverses the ages. The city's many neighborhoods include Moorish Alfama, home of the city's tallest hill, and 17th-century Bairro Alto, with its hopping nightlife. Lisbon is home to remarkable museums, an impressive castle, open-air markets, funiculars, Fado music and great food. With its cobblestoned pavements and narrow streets full of Art Nouveau cafés, Lisbon promises a lot!

You are invited to submit an abstract to be considered for presentation at the ASIS International 9thEuropean Security Conference in Lisbon, Portugal. Shape the programme by sharing your knowledge and expertise with security professionals from around the globe. The conference will cover the entire spectrum of security topics: supply chain, loss prevention, piracy, terrorism, executive protection, intellectual property rights, and more.
