Call for Presentations
MilCIS encourages the submission of proposals for refereed presentations at the conference within the following three frameworks: Update, Product Brief, and Tutorial.
Update
An update (delivered in the parallel conference sessions) presentation provides a non-commercial update of key technologies and/or issues associated with government and military communications and information systems and network centric warfare.
Product Brief
A product brief provides a brief on a commercial product or capability associated with government and military communications and information systems and network centric warfare. Product briefs are considered a form of sponsorship, the cost of which is outlined in the Conference Sponsorship and Exhibition brochure. Expo Product Briefs may be proposed for the Expo stream (available to Expo Visitors and Conference Delegates); or Conference Product Briefs in the parallel conference steams (available only to Conference Delegates); or Mini Product Briefs (available to Expo Visitors and Conference Delegates) will be held in a presentation area in the marquee. All product briefs will also be live-streamed via the virtual conference portal.
Tutorial
A tutorial (delivered in the parallel conference sessions) provides a non-commercial introduction to key technologies associated with government and military communications and information systems and network centric warfare. Tutorials should be as interactive as possible to ensure that participants are actively engaged in exploring the issues surrounding the topic.
MilCIS 2024 will be delivered in a hybrid format, combining an in-person experience with an online virtual component. You will have the opportunity to choose your presentation delivery method.
Live presentation. Presenters will present from the National Convention Centre and the presentation will be streamed live into the virtual platform for virtual attendees to view. The live presentation recording will be placed on demand for registered delegates to watch for up to two weeks after the conference.
Pre-recorded presentation. Presenters will provide pre-recorded presentation that will be streamed during the presentation time on the virtual platform. The pre-recorded presentation will also be streamed live to screen at the National Convention Centre Canberra. The recording will be placed on demand for registered delegates to watch for up to two weeks after the conference.
Update and Product briefs are 50 minutes in duration. A tutorial is also normally 50 minutes long, but tutorials of up to three hours duration may be considered if there is room in the program.
Mini Product Briefs are a 15-minute opportunity to deliver a commercial brief on your company’s product or services to all in-person conference attendees. Presentation will also be live streamed via the virtual conference portal and available for virtual attendees.
Presenters may receive a complimentary day registration for the day of their presentation. Attendance at the remaining days of the conference will require paid registration for those days.

Submission of abstract for review - Tuesday 6 August 2024
Notification of acceptance - Tuesday 17 September 2024
