This is probably doable - although as you say, the majority of the talks
appear to be about geopolitics. That's not to say that it might not be
interesting for them though - I would have thought the concept of
intellectual property rights would have been of huge interest to them,
for example. 

It would probably be best to discuss this in person at AFFSAC, although
it is quite close - do you know any of the organisers? Are they still
looking for people to speak?

Cheers,

Alex.
