Four rooms running at once, Oct 5–6 in Tacoma — no schedule to follow and no sitting through slides. Enterprise exploitation with Rod Soto, agentic Claude workflows, local LLMs on hardware we provide, and a beginner room if you're new. Move between them however you like.
One flat price — $100 gets you both full days and every general track. Buy before Oct 4 and bring a friend free (that's two passes for $100).

Methodologies, processes, attack vectors, tools, and AI-assisted techniques used for exploitation across infrastructure, web, and cloud environments. Limited seats — add it to any ticket at checkout.
Building AI systems on AWS since 2023 — rocket software at Blue Origin, security & compliance at Alpine Investors. Now a penetration tester of AI systems in financial software.
Leave with your own Claude rebuilt. We install it on the laptop you bring — skills you write yourself, subagents running in parallel, open-sourced visual workspaces for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, and Graphify turning your repo into a knowledge graph you can ask questions. You walk out with it working, not with notes about it.
Open-weight models running off the cloud — offline inference and where local beats the API. Hardware provided, so you don't need a GPU rig to take part.
ChatGPT, Claude, and setting up Pro accounts properly — prompting fundamentals and your first genuinely useful workflows. Bring someone who's never done this.
$100 gets you both days and every general track. Buy before Oct 4 and bring a friend free. Advanced training is an optional add-on. Checkout is handled securely through Eventbrite.
No vendor keynotes, no fluff — every session is hands-on and built to leave with something you can actually run.
Bring a laptop. You'll build, break, and ship in every room across both days.
Local pros, students, and builders in one room — the people you'll actually work with.
Start with AI-tool basics or dive into agentic workflows and offensive security. Your call.
