AARM
An AARM event · FEB 2027 · San Francisco

CALL FOR
PAPERS

INTERCEPT is where the AARM community shows its work. If you build, break, or defend agentic runtime security, the stage is yours — a gateway you designed, an attack that landed, a rollout that held. Bring the system and the evidence.

● Open nowCloses October 1, 2026
Building AARM-conformant controls?

This event exists so the companies building the standard can show what they shipped. If your team put a real interception, policy, or enforcement system into production, we want that talk. Technical depth over polish — bring the architecture, the numbers, and the scars.

Three tracks

Builders & Breakers of Agentic Runtime Security. Choose the track that fits your talk. Spanning two? Submit to the one it leans toward and say so.

🔨

Builders

You wrote the interception point. Walk us through the gateway, the policy engine, the SDK hooks, the identity model — the design calls you made and the ones you'd take back.

  • How you enforce a decision before an action executes
  • Context accumulation and intent alignment in practice
  • Receipts, audit trails, and provable identity binding
  • What conformance to AARM actually cost you to build
💥

Breakers

You got past it. A prompt that reached a tool it shouldn't have, a gateway you slipped, a policy you tricked. Bring the exploit and the receipts, not the theory.

  • Turning a prompt into an unauthorized action
  • Slipping gateways, policy, or DLP inspection
  • Adversarial evals and red-team methodology that scales
  • An incident, reconstructed end to end
🛡️

Defenders

You keep it running. The rollout that didn't break prod, the alert that fired in time, the least-privilege model your team can actually live with.

  • Deploying runtime controls without breaking the agent
  • Detection and telemetry your SOC actually reads
  • Responding when an agent does something it shouldn't
  • Governance that survives contact with reality

Pick a format

25 min
Case study
One system, start to finish — what you built or broke, and what it taught you.
40 min
Deep dive
Architecture, threat model, and the hard trade-offs, in detail.
8 min
Lightning
One idea, one result, no filler.
live
Demo
The system doing the thing, on stage, for real.

What earns a slot

Reviewers reward substance. The strongest submissions have most of this:

A real system you built, attacked, or ran — not a plan
The trade-offs and the decisions you'd redo
Numbers: benchmarks, latency, catch rates, before/after
Code, artifacts, or a demo that backs the claim
A technique the room hasn't seen before
Honest failure — what broke and why it mattered

What to submit

1
A conference paper — IEEE format (PDF)

Write it up with the Overleaf IEEE conference template ↗ and export to PDF (under 4MB). The paper is required — it's what the reviewers read.

2
Three short sections

In the form you'll give your core topics, your key takeaways, and why it matters & who it's for. Reviewers score each one.

3
Strip your identity

Review is blind. No author or company name anywhere — not the title, the sections, or the paper itself. A paper that names an author or company will be deleted. (You'll get full credit once it's accepted.)

How review works

Blind
The panel sees the work, never the name behind it.
3 evaluators
Three independent reviewers score your sections 1–10 and leave comments.
One decision
A chair accepts or rejects once at least three reviews are in.

Accepted or not, you get every reviewer's scores and written feedback back. Standout papers may be accepted early, on a rolling basis.
