Humans vs AI: Black Hat After Dark
Hosted by Schellman, BlackCloak, Securin, Chainguard, Straiker, and Ox
We've convinced a group of CISOs to try stand-up comedy for the first time, added an AI robot to the lineup, and somehow everyone agreed this was a good idea.
The (Brave) Security Leaders Performing...
Allan Alford, SVP Information Security @ NTT Data Centers
Bil Harmer, CISO @ Supabase
Joe Sullivan, CEO @ Joe Sullivan Security
Chenxi Wang, Managing Partner @ Rain Capital

The Game Plan
7:00 PM: Dinner & Cocktails
Dinner, craft cocktails, and actual conversation.
~8:30 PM: Humans vs AI
1-minute CISO sets, professional comedians mixed in, and an AI robot trying to beat them all.
~9:30 PM: Cocktails, Round 2
Debate whether the robot actually won.
The Room Where It Happens
Around 100 senior leaders, hand-picked and personally invited.
If you’re in, you’re in. If not, blame the AI waitlist algorithm.
