The fifth Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) will be held July 15-17, 2009 at Google in Mountain View, CA. This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners in human computer interaction, security, and privacy. The program features technical papers, workshops and tutorials, a poster session, panels and invited talks, and discussion sessions.
SOUPS 2009 Highlights
During this three-day event, you'll have an opportunity to hear from people doing cutting edge research as well as from industry folks who will report on their first hand experiences with usable privacy and security challenges. The popular SOUPS poster session as well as social events, breaks, and discussion sessions will provide opportunities to share ideas and network with other participants.
A SOUPS preliminary program will be available in April 2009.
SOUPS 2009 will be held on the Google campus. Accommodations have been reserved for SOUPS attendees at a nearby hotel.
Not Your Typical Conference
SOUPS distinguishes itself from other conferences by both providing a high quality technical program and by bringing together an interdisciplinary group of attendees in a format conducive to informal discussion and networking. SOUPS offers reasonable registration fees, which include meals catered by local restaurants featuring a variety of cuisines. Past attendees have raved about "the amazing group of people who were here to talk with" and the "awesome food." One past attendee wrote: "Overall, this is the best conference I've attended. I may be ruined forever going to SIGCHI and other larger conferences."
