Use when planning a USENIX Security Symposium project end to end — choosing between the two annual cycles, mapping the registration-to-camera-ready calendar for a chosen cycle, sequencing artifact and ethics work early, and coordinating a team across the multi-deadline Big-Four calendar.

# USENIX Security Workflow

USENIX Security runs two independent submission cycles per year, so "when do we
submit?" is a real strategic choice, not a fixed date. This skill turns a target
cycle into a dated backward plan and assigns owners to the venue-specific risks.
Dates below are the '26/'27 cycle values read on 2026-07-08 (via search renderings;
usenix.org direct fetch 403'd) — reconfirm against the live CFP.

## Step 1: pick the cycle

| Consideration | Favors the earlier cycle | Favors the later cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Readiness | Evaluation truly done now | Needs one more experiment done right |
| Conference lead time | Cycle-1 accepts publish ~7 months pre-symposium | Cycle-2 accepts closer to the event |
