The Black Hat AI Lounge & After Hours by security.xyz
The Black Hat AI Lounge
The daily home base for the people building, buying and securing AI
Join us at Mandalay Bay for a full day of good food, useful introductions and candid conversations about what AI is doing to security.
The Black Hat AI Lounge is a private space away from the show floor where security leaders, researchers, founders, investors and operators can meet without shouting over a packed reception.
Come for breakfast, take meetings between sessions, stay for dinner or join us later for the party.
No panels. No sales pitches. No rigid agenda.
Just a well-hosted room full of people worth meeting.
