Call for Donors

Since its inception in 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (a.k.a., the “Oakland” conference) has been a premier conference in the cyber security community that annually attracts an international group of researchers, developers, practitioners and others interested in the latest advances in computer security and privacy.

The 2020 Symposium will mark the 41st annual meeting of this flagship conference. The Symposium will be held on May 18-20, 2020, whereas the Security and Privacy Workshops will be held on May 21, 2020. Both events will take place at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco, CA.

The organizing committee cordially invites your company to join other industry leaders and become a donor to the 41st IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy:

The Symposium presents an excellent opportunity for donors to expose your company’s brand, logo, and messages to the world’s leading security researchers, practitioners, decision makers, and potential future employees.
We anticipate that many leaders from industry and government agencies will attend in search of security-related technologies and services.
Your support allows us to reduce the costs of student registration fees and travel costs, and as a result to bring highly qualified student attendees.
Your donation will also help support several activities such as the poster session, break, and other social events, providing a unique experience for all the participants.
Donating to the IEEE Symposium is a great way to reach people who think deeply and in a sustained way about computer security and privacy.
