AI Security Summit

Overview

The AI Security Summit is a multi city event series that brings together practitioners, leaders, and researchers who work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and security. The event places a strong emphasis on practical, battle tested insights rather than generic theory. It focuses on how AI systems are built, governed, secured, and operated in real world settings, with attendees ranging from security engineers and AI teams to CISOs and board members. The summit is designed to close the gap between developers who build AI enabled systems and the defenders who protect them, offering a shared stage for discussions that surface real world trade offs, lessons learned, and concrete techniques.

Tracks

The summit features tracks designed for different audiences and aims:

• Leadership Track: For strategic decision makers such as CISOs, CTOs, VPs of Security. Topics include AI governance, org design, risk communication, and due diligence for models and vendors.
• Practitioner Track: For hands-on engineers and developers. Topics cover LLM vulnerability patterns, prompt injection and jailbreak defenses, live AI red teaming demos, securing models and pipelines, and incident response playbooks.
• What to Expect: Each track emphasizes technical depth, with talks that include demos, proofs of concept, and battle tested approaches. The format favors small, collaborative sessions over traditional keynote formats.

Format and Agenda

The event combines talks, lightning sessions, and hands-on workshops. Each session is designed to provide tangible takeaways and code level details that attendees can apply immediately in their own environments. The format includes 35 minute talks, lightning talks, and workshop components to encourage interactive exploration of defense strategies, threat modeling, and operational best practices. The program is built around real world scenarios and concrete outcomes rather than slogans.

CFP and How to Submit

For those interested in presenting, the summit hosts a call for papers (CFP) with a focus on original work, new insights, or decision frameworks that have been tested in production. London and San Francisco have dedicated CFP pages with links to submission portals. Submissions should clearly describe the research or experience, the testing method, and the outcomes in production. See the CFP links for London and San Francisco for more details and deadlines.

Who Should Attend

Audience members include security leaders who set risk budgets and governance, security engineers, app security teams, ML engineers, and developers building AI powered systems. Attendees gain practical knowledge on governance, risk communication, vendor due diligence, threat modeling, red teaming, and how to operationalize robust security practices in AI projects.

Why Attend

Attendees will leave with actionable guidance, evidenced based strategies, and in some cases code snippets, configurations, and playbooks that can be used in their weekly work. The summit aims to create honest discussions about what works in real deployments and what does not, with emphasis on concrete outcomes over marketing rhetoric.

FAQs

What is the scope of topics addressed? The tracks cover governance, risk management, model and vendor due diligence, threat modeling, defensive testing, and incident response for AI powered systems. Is this a virtual event? The summit runs in physical locations across multiple cities with plans for ongoing events throughout the year. How can I submit a talk? Visit the London or San Francisco CFP pages linked on the site to submit your proposal. What is the expected audience size? The format is designed for smaller, focused sessions with interactive participation rather than large keynote audiences.
