[un]prompted II

The AI Security Practitioner Conference

October 27-29, 2026, San Francisco

[un]prompted is back for the second time, this October, in SF.

Whether you’re a CISO Excel jockey or a researcher sniffing for the scent of bits, we see you as part of our wider AI security practitioner community.

[un]prompted is an intimate, raw, and fun gathering for the professionals actually doing the work, from offense to threat hunting to program building to national policy. No fluff. No filler. Just sharp talks, real demos, and conversations that matter.

[un]prompted Scholarship Program

We believe the people who should be part of the AI security conversation shouldn’t be held back by registration costs.

Together with Decibel and the startups in their community, more than $100,000 has been committed to scholarships for AI security practitioners and community members whose conference registration is not covered by their employer.

Selected recipients will receive 100% coverage of the $850 [un]prompted registration fee, paid directly to [un]prompted, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

There is no financial means test. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through peer review and a good-faith attestation of need.

If cost is standing between you and [un]prompted, we encourage you to apply.
