Upcoming USENIX Events

The 20th USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI '26) will take place on July 13–15, 2026, at The Westin Seattle in Seattle, WA, USA.
OSDI brings together professionals from academic and industrial backgrounds in what has become a premier forum for discussing the design, implementation, and implications of systems software. The symposium emphasizes innovative research as well as quantified or insightful experiences in systems design and implementation.
View the full symposium program and register today. The Early Bird Registration deadline is Monday, June 22, 2026.

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 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.
WOOT 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.

In-Person registration is SOLD OUT. Virtual Registration is still open
The 31st USENIX Security Symposium will take place on August 10–12, 2022, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA, USA. The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security and privacy of computer systems and networks.

The 25th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '27) will take place on February 23–25, 2027, in Renton, WA, USA. FAST will bring together storage-system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems.
