VulGen Workshop at ACM SIGIR 2026

The International Workshop on Vulnerabilities in Generative Systems for Information Retrieval (VelGen'26) will be held as a full-day workshop at the 49th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR'26) in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, on 24 July 2026.

Have you ever used or deployed a generative system and wondered, “What could possibly go wrong?” Have you spotted hidden vulnerabilities in these systems that the rest of the community has overlooked? Have you questioned the extent to which generative systems might negatively affect people and society? The VulGen workshop is exactly where you can share those ideas and draw the attention of your peers to collaborate and investigate these potential pitfalls. Don’t hesitate; submit a statement by the deadline to highlight the vulnerabilities you have identified.
