PETS 2027 — 27th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium
by Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PoPETs)
Where machine learning meets privacy engineering, Delft, July 2027
About This Event
PETS 2027, the 27th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium, runs 19-24 July 2027 in Delft, The Netherlands, as a physical gathering with a hybrid option — in-person attendance is not required for publication. PETS is the venue for privacy technology that actually ships: differential privacy and private data analysis, machine learning and privacy, cryptographic tools for privacy, anonymous communication and censorship resistance, location and web privacy, traffic analysis, blockchain privacy and social-network privacy. It is unusual among security conferences in running a journal-style process: papers go to Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies across four submission windows a year, each with a rebuttal, a revision round and decisions roughly two months after submission, which means the accepted set is revised rather than merely selected. Systematization-of-Knowledge papers are explicitly solicited alongside new results.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Chief Privacy Officers
- ✓Data protection officers
- ✓Privacy engineers
- ✓AI governance and responsible-AI leads
- ✓Security architects
- ✓Applied cryptography researchers
Why Attend
For a data or privacy leader deciding whether differential privacy, synthetic data or federated learning can carry a real workload, PETS is the only place where those claims are measured rather than marketed. You leave with the current empirical limits of membership-inference and training-data-extraction attacks against models like the ones you are fine-tuning, the parameter choices that make DP deployments honest instead of decorative, and open-access papers you can hand to legal and to your regulator.
Event Features
- ✓Core CFP area: machine learning and privacy
- ✓Core CFP area: differential privacy and private data analysis
- ✓Core CFP area: anonymous communication and censorship resistance
- ✓Core CFP area: web privacy and traffic analysis
- ✓Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) track, papers marked 'SoK:' in the title
- ✓Four submission issues per cycle, each with a rebuttal window, revision round and camera-ready deadline
What Makes This Unique
- ★Journal-style reviewing with four submission windows a year, a rebuttal and a revision round — papers are improved before acceptance rather than filtered on a single shot
- ★'Machine learning and privacy' is a core topic, so membership inference, training-data extraction and private fine-tuning are examined as measurement problems rather than policy positions
- ★Publishes to Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies, an open-access journal, so findings are citable in a compliance memo the day they land
- ★Hybrid by design: in-person attendance is explicitly not required for publication, which keeps the author pool geographically wide
