The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) Southwest node is hosting its annual CCI Student Researcher Showcase 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm on April 1, 2026, in the Integrated Security Education and Research Center (ISERC), located at:
355 Old Turner Street
Blacksburg, Virginia
24060
Please share the problem you are trying to solve, the progress you've made to date, the connection to security, and any results obtained. Work in progress is fine to present, and final results are not necessary. We encourage you to present your work in multiple venues (e.g. other showcases/poster sessions) to make the most of your research experience. It is completely acceptable to present work that you have shared or plan to share elsewhere, including the
CCI Symposium (abstract or poster submission deadline: January 16, 2026, 5 pm ET)
The posters will be electronic, so there is no need to print. Please use the
template provided,
which is the same as for the CCI Symposium. Consider presenting at both - same poster (if you wish), double the impact. Register by Friday, March 20, 2026
Posters should be uploaded here by Friday, March 27, 2026
Accommodations: If you are an individual with a disability and desire an accommodation, please contact Madison Boswell at maboswell@vt.edu during regular business hours at least 10 business days prior to the event.
