Please take a look at this page for information on open applications for upcoming events. If your research significantly overlaps with a conference topic, or if you are presenting a paper, this is definitely the way to attend for less.<br><br></p> <h3><a href="/conferences/best-papers">Best Student Paper Awards</a></h3> <p>Cash prizes are awarded to best papers for which a student is the lead author at USENIX conferences. Keep an eye out for our Calls for Papers (<a href="/conferences/calls-for-papers">CFPs</a>), and feel free to submit a paper!<br><br></p> <h3><a href="/staff">Your Suggestions</a></h3> <p>USENIX seeks suggestions for special programs to sponsor, such as programming contests or workshops.
