Call for Virtual Socials

A strong community is central to the success of IEEE S&P. Our mission is to create an opportunity for all participants to meet new people and to share knowledge, best practices, career options, and interests. To enable this, we will support many virtual socials and mentoring sessions.

Virtual socials

A virtual social is a participant-led video-driven meeting centered around different themes. These themes can be anything ranging from:

• Research topics and interests (e.g., privacy, network security, ML security).
• Skills exchange and training (e.g., giving better presentations, guidance on academic job applications).
• Supporting affinity group meetings (e.g., QueerInSecurity, First-time attendees, Women in Security, LatinX in security).
• Other social and intellectual gatherings (e.g., Security book club, wine and cheese).

Virtual socials are typically 1-hour long and must have two leads (who will organize the session, moderate the session, and ensure respectful communication).
