MAY 18-21, 2026 AT THE HILTON SAN FRANCISCO UNION SQUARE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA
47th IEEE Symposium on
Security and Privacy
Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field. The 2026 Symposium marks the 47th annual meeting of this flagship conference.
Presenting a poster at IEEE S&P is a great chance for researchers to obtain valuable feedback on their ongoing work from knowledgeable participants at the conference. Posters are solicited that present unpublished, in-progress, late-breaking research, or extensions of published work on security-and privacy-related topics. Additionally, posters presenting interdisciplinary work that is relevant to security and privacy research but was published outside the security community are welcome.
Poster abstracts are due Friday, March 20, 2026. At least one author of each accepted poster will be required to attend the conference in person. Accepted poster abstracts will be posted on the conference website.
Poster abstracts due: Friday, March 20, 2026, AOE
Acceptance notification: Monday, March 30, 2026
Submit an abstract no longer than two pages describing the work, together with a draft of the poster itself. The abstract title should begin with the keyword “Poster:”. Include all authors with contact information and institutional affiliation in your abstract. Abstracts should briefly describe the particular problem being addressed, and detail your approach to the problem. Providing preliminary results is suggested but not required. If the work was previously published outside the security community or is an extension of any published work, please include a reference to the existing publication.
The abstract of your poster must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper and should not exceed the two page limit (including references). All submissions must use the IEEE “compsoc” conference proceedings template. LaTeX submissions using the IEEE templates must use IEEEtran.cls version 1.8b with options “conference,compsoc.” (That is, begin your LaTeX document with the line \documentclass[conference,compsoc]{IEEEtran}.). See the “IEEE Demo Template for Computer Society Conferences” Overleaf template for an example. We are not aware of an MS Word template that matches this style.
Poster abstracts that fail to use the “compsoc” template (including using the non-compsoc IEEE conference template), modify margins, font, or line spacing, or use egregious space scrunching are subject to rejection without review. Authors are responsible for verifying the poster format (e.g., compare with the above linked Overleaf template). While HotCRP provides some automated checking, the checks are limited. Note that some LaTeX packages (e.g., \usepackage{usenix}) override the compsoc formatting and must be removed.
All submissions must also include a draft of the poster to receive feedback before the conference. Presented posters can be sized up to 24 x 36 inches (or A1), either portrait or landscape, but should be scaled down to letter or A4 for submission as a PDF.
All materials should be submitted to https://posters.sp2026.ieee-security.org
If accepted, at least one author must be registered and a final version of the poster abstract must be submitted by Monday, April 6, 2026. The abstract will be placed on the conference website prior to the poster session but will not be included in the conference proceedings.
[From SOUPS 2024] Please consider the poster’s accessibility (e.g., use text large enough to read when viewed from a reasonable standing distance, use simple non-serif fonts and high contrast between text and background). You can check this guide for more information. For the submission as PDF, please scale the poster down to normal paper size (US letter or A4).
For more information, please contact the posters chair at posters-26@sp.ieee-security.org.
We will have a best poster award. The poster jury will vote on the best poster during the submission period. The jury will consider different factors, including poster organization, graphics, text legibility, space utilization, and clarity of the material.
If you are presenting a paper at S&P, you are eligible to submit your poster. Your poster will be selected depending on availability of space. Priority will be given to posters not corresponding to papers that will be presented at S&P.
