Huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making SOUPS a great event this year -- chairs, PC, authors, attendees, and especially the student volunteers who did an amazing job stepping in for our usual USENIX staff. Each of you is what makes this a great community.

We've had a great set of workshops this year. The main portion of SOUPS starts now. There were 234 papers submitted this year, with 38 accepted, for a 16.2% acceptance rate.

It's not too late to register for SOUPS! We have a great program this year, with workshops, papers, a keynote, speed mentoring, a town hall meeting, a poster session, and lots of evening time to see Hannover. Join us for a fantastic time discussing usable security and privacy. Details at soups.page.

This is the last week to register for SOUPS 2026 at the early-bird discount rate (though registration will be open through the conference). We've got 38 papers, 7 workshops, and much more at SOUPS this year, back in Europe for the first time in over a decade. See everything at soups.page

The deadline for most workshops, the poster submission deadline, and the lightning talk deadline for SOUPS are all tomorrow, May 28. The deadline for the John Karat Award is June 11 soups.page

One more day to get your proposal for a workshop submitted. They are due tomorrow, Thursday, March 26th. soups.page/workshops.html
