GAISS 2026, IEEE Conference on Generative AI for Secure Systems
The premier IEEE forum where researchers, engineers, and founders define the future of trustworthy Generative AI.
The Conference
Where Research Meets
Real-World Security
GAISS is the IEEE venue where published research, product practice, and policy pressure meet on Generative AI security. Every accepted paper goes through double-blind review and is indexed in IEEE Xplore.
Our audience includes academics pioneering adversarial robustness, security teams defending production pipelines, and policymakers writing the rules that will govern AI in critical systems.

Why Attend
Built for People Who Ship Secure AI
Three days of plenaries, technical tracks, and workshops - built for researchers, security engineers, and teams shipping Generative AI responsibly.
Expert Keynotes
Plenary talks that frame open problems in Generative AI security and tie research to deployment constraints, so you leave with a clearer map of what matters for the next 12 to 18 months.
Hands-On Workshops
Sessions you can apply on Monday: red-teaming LLM interfaces, hardening inference paths, and privacy techniques you can prototype in your stack.
Networking & Community
Structured time with peers across academia and industry: reviewers, collaborators, hires, and partners working the same part of the problem space.
Startup Showcase
Early products and research transfers in secure AI. Compare approaches before you commit engineering or capital.
Speakers
Leading Voices on Stage
Researchers, founders, and security engineers who build and study Generative AI in production.
Reviewing speaker applications
We're finalizing an exceptional roster of security researchers and AI practitioners. The full lineup will be announced soon.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about attending GAISS 2026.
What’s included in my registration?
All three days: sessions, keynotes, networking, exhibit, materials, lunch, and refreshments. Your rate depends on academia vs industry, IEEE membership, and when you register (full table on the Registration page). Wi-Fi, printed badge, and app access are included.
Will sessions be recorded?
Main-stage keynotes and panels are recorded for attendees and usually go online within about a week. Some workshops may stay attendees-only; the program will note that.
Do I need a printed ticket?
No. Show the QR code from your confirmation on your phone. Add the pass to your wallet if you can, in case venue signal is weak.
Can I transfer my ticket?
Yes, if you email generalchair@gaiss.info at least 48 hours before the first session with both names and confirmation numbers. No transfer fee when you meet that deadline.
Where is the venue?
The University of Texas at Austin, 110 Inner Campus Drive, Austin, TX 78705. Public transit nearby; limited on-site parking. Travel and hotel details are in your confirmation email when available.
How can I submit a paper?
Read the Call for Papers and Submission Guidelines on this site for scope, page limits, anonymization, and dates. Review is double-blind. Accepted papers follow IEEE proceedings and IEEE Xplore as described in the CFP.
Is there a code of conduct?
Yes. Follow the IEEE policies linked from our Code of Conduct page (respectful behavior and how to report issues). Staff and volunteers can help if something comes up.
