DETAILS

Where Intelligence Meets Defense
Autonomous agents & LLMs are shredding dwell time, while spawning brand-new zero-days. This invite-only salon unites the builders, breakers, & backers shaping the next decade of cyber resilience.

Why It Matters

AI Insiders is not a conference. It's a vertical intelligence network.
Each gathering is laser-focused on a specific sector, because AI's impact is not one-size-fits-all.

This month: Cybersecurity.

Attack surfaces are growing.

LLMs & agents are already being exploited.

Security teams need new mental models, & fast.

If you're an AI founder, cybersecurity leader, investor, or enterprise builder, this is where you want to be.
