Sharing Vulnerabilities
Saturday April 26, 2025 10:15am - 11:00am PDT
In security, we share a lot about vulnerabilities—but rarely our own. In his keynote, Clint Gibler reflects on the personal side of working in this high-pressure field, and what it means to show up as a whole human in this community. Through personal experiences, lessons and stories, Clint invites us to think about what really matters—and how being vulnerable is a strength.

Let's Talk About the AI Apocalypse
Saturday April 26, 2025 11:15am - 11:45am PDT

And how can we stay curious in the face of being wrong, as well as design security for the future to make redirection easier? This session covers the need to plan for human fallibility – and may itself be wrong …
