The flagship. One day. One room. No filler.

Westin St. Francis
335 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94102
A San Francisco landmark on Union Square, open since 1904. The event spaces have the bones to match — grand ballrooms with carved ceilings and gilt pillars in the historic Landmark Building, and floor-to-ceiling views of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate from the 32nd floor. The kind of venue where the room does some of the work for you.

mission.why()
the-mission/
The best AI Security knowledge right now lives inside companies. It's in incident reports that nobody publishes, in architecture decisions that never leave the engineering org, in red team findings that stay in internal wikis. The AISS exists to get that knowledge on stage.
We don't just curate panels, where everyone agrees with each other. We want the tough conversations, too.
We select talks the same way peer review works: show us what you found, how you tested it, and what happened once it hit production and we'll be happy campers.
If the talk doesn't have original work, or doesn't surface something no one had thought about before, why would anyone be interested?
That's the deal: practitioners share what they've found, built, broken, or defended. Leaders share the real life trade-offs behind the decisions that they've made. Our audience is just the kind of room where that level of honesty is worth it.
