Clash of Prompts by Symbiotic
What is Clash of Prompts?
Clash of Prompts by Symbiotic is a live, in-person prompt competition focused on AI behavior, security thinking, and the difference between a weak prompt and a strong one under pressure.
This is not a generic AI meetup. The room moves fast: a guided demo round, one full tournament, live breakdowns of why the winning prompts worked, then a second championship run once everyone understands the game better.
When: May 7, 2026 | 9:30 AM - 2:00 PM PT Where: AWS Builder Loft, 525 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94105Who: Presented by Symbiotic Security with event support from HackerSquad

Who Should Register
This event is for developers, founders, prompt engineers, security-minded builders, and technical operators who want to learn by watching strong participants compete in real time.
If you want to participate directly, bring a laptop. If you want to watch and learn, that works too.
Why It Is Worth Showing Up
You get a sharper feel for what actually makes a prompt strong
You see failure modes and security-relevant mistakes in public, not just in theory
You meet a room full of technically curious builders in San Francisco
You leave with practical ideas, not vague AI inspiration
Space is limited to the room capacity, so register early if you want to be there.
