Advertising Opportunities

For over 35 years the volunteers and computer professionals at USENIX have worked toward the advancement of the computer technology industry by consistently providing topic-specific forums for informative and relevant technical dialog. USENIX and LISA members are highly regarded academics, engineers, system administrators, developers, and students, and therefore integral to the development of our internationally renowned community. The best way to reach our members is to earn their respect as part of this community effort.

As a not-for-profit organization, we have very clearly defined policies regarding member privacy, the use of our mailing lists, and advertising opportunities.

Advertising FAQs

What opportunities are available?

  1. Mailing List Rental

    USENIX maintains a postal address database of members and non-members, with selects available according to country, state, membership classification, and conference attendance. All members and conference attendees are included in the postal mailing lists unless otherwise requested.

    Use of the USENIX postal mailing list is restricted to certain levels of USENIX Supporters of the Association and to select partners. Approved partners and supporters must provide a sample of the mail piece and use a bonded, third-party mailhouse. All mailing lists are intended for a single use only. All information in USENIX mailing lists is the property of the USENIX Association. Retention and reuse of mailing list information are considered violations of USENIX policies. For more information on our postal mailing list, please see the USENIX Mailing List Policy.

    Privacy is a pressing issue with our members, and our policies reflect their wants and needs. USENIX does not release the email addresses of our members and attendees.
