The 2026 USENIX Conference on Privacy Engineering Practice and Respect (PEPR '26) will take place at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, in Santa Clara, CA, USA, on June 1–2, 2026.

PEPR is focused on designing and building products and systems with privacy and respect for their users and the societies in which they operate. Our goal is to improve the state of the art and practice of building for privacy and respect and to foster a deeply knowledgeable community of both privacy practitioners and researchers who collaborate towards that goal.

The Call for Participation will be available soon.

The 20th USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '26) will take place on August 10–11, 2026, at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, MD, USA.

The USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies brings together both academics and practitioners in the field of offensive security research. Occurring annually since 2007, when it was first founded as the Workshop on Offensive Technologies, WOOT has become the top venue for collaboration between academia, independent hackers, and industry participants on offensive research. As offensive security has changed over the years to become a large-scale operation managed by well-capitalized actors, WOOT has consistently attracted a range of high-quality, peer-reviewed work from academia and industry on novel attacks, state-of-the-art tools, and offensive techniques.

The 4th USENIX Symposium on Vehicle Security and Privacy (VehicleSec '26) will take place on August 10–11, 2026, in conjunction with the 35th USENIX Security Symposium in Baltimore, MD, USA.

VehicleSec aims to bring together an audience of university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, and government representatives to contribute new theories, technologies, and systems on any security/privacy issues related to vehicles (e.g., ground, aerial, in/on water, space), their sub-systems (e.g., in-vehicle networks, autonomy, connectivity, human-machine interfaces), supporting infrastructures (e.g., transportation infrastructure, charging station, ground control station), and related fundamental technologies (e.g., sensing, control, AI/ML/DNN/LLM, wireless communication, real-time computing, edge computing, location service, simulation, digital twin, multi-agent protocol/system design, and human-machine interaction).

The Call for Papers will be available soon.
