MAY 18-21, 2026 AT THE HILTON SAN FRANCISCO UNION SQUARE, SAN FRANCISCO, CA
47th IEEE Symposium on
Security and Privacy
IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P) and IEEE Security and Privacy Workshops (SPW) are dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
Event organizers may take action to redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. We expect participants to follow these rules at all event spaces—i.e., hotel venue and event-related social spaces. We think people should follow these rules outside event activities too!
If you experience or witness a violation of this Code of Conduct, please report it as soon as possible. Harassment and code of conduct violations reduce the value of our event for everyone. We want to provide a safe, inclusive environment at our event. And people who report unacceptable behavior help us cultivate a safe and inclusive environment.
Please reach out to the Conference Chairs Alina Oprea and Adam Aviv, personally during the event, or via email to sp26-chair@ieee-security.org. When taking a personal report, we will ensure you are in a safe environment and cannot be overheard. We may involve other event staff to ensure your report is managed properly, and you may bring someone to support you. We will treat your report with discretion, confidentiality and seriousness; you will not be asked to confront anyone and your identity will not be disclosed to anyone else. We will not take any action without your explicit consent.
Alternatively, for any issue, you can dial x444 within Hilton to contact the hotel staff. Furthermore, you can also contact the IEEE Ethics Reporting Line:
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, they may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the organizers. Further action may be taken by IEEE in accordance with its policies covering code of conduct (9.25 Civility Policy, 9.26 Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment), whose consequences may include expulsion from membership in the IEEE; see the IEEE policies, IEEE Technical Activities procedures and the IEEE Code of Conduct for more information on these further IEEE actions.
