The Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) is the leading academic venue for research on the human dimensions of security and privacy: how people understand, use, and make decisions about security tools, privacy controls, authentication systems, and warnings. The conference sits at the intersection of HCI and security, drawing researchers from both communities. SOUPS 2026 takes place August 23-26 in Hannover, Germany. Hannover is a well-connected mid-sized German city with good rail and air links, a pleasant city centre anchored by the Maschsee lake, and the Herrenhausen Gardens nearby. The specific venue will be announced on the conference website.
