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 2022 Symposium will mark the 43rd annual meeting of this flagship conference. The Symposium, together with the Security and Privacy Workshops, are going to be held on May 22-26, 2022. Both events will take place at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco, CA.

The IEEE Computer Society and the Security and Privacy Symposium’s Organizing Committee are constantly monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation. While our current plans are focusing on an in-person event, we will keep our participants updated in case a different symposium format will be necessary. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority.

The organizing committee cordially invites your company to join other industry leaders and become a donor to the 43rd 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.
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.
