Propose a talk

Speaker criteria

We welcome talks on research in computer security and privacy.

Most talks focus on one project in the style of an academic conference presentation. Broad overview or recruiting talks are not an appropriate fit for this forum.

We strongly prefer in-person speakers. Unfortunately, we cannot provide funding for travel to Berkeley. Student speakers typically coordinate travel funding with their advisor (or other sources of support). If you cannot join us in person, we have a remote option available.

Topics of interest

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • AI/ML security and privacy
  • Applied Cryptography
  • Hardware security
  • Network security
  • Systems security

How to propose

To propose a talk, please email Darya Kaviani and Corban Villa with your preferred date.
