is a small, invitation-only gathering for the offensive AI community. The people building and breaking systems powered by AI, trading hard-won lessons and talking candidly about where these systems fail and how they're pushed. Free of vendor theater and performative hot takes, and a welcome excuse to escape the Strip for a morning.

Historic Courtroom at The Mob Museum
Misaligned is held inside The Mob Museum in downtown Las Vegas, in the museum's restored 1930s courtroom. Off the Strip, away from the booths and the badge scanners your week will be full of, and in a room with a story of its own.
Uber / Drop-off Point
The Mob Museum. 300 Stewart Ave
Security & Entry
Misaligned attendees must present a valid government-issued photo ID at the registration desk for a bracelet to access the conference (and snacks).
Who is this for?
Builders, practitioners, researchers, and the vendors who actually ship. Technical and senior, but builders first. If you spend your day breaking or hardening AI systems, you are the room.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Misaligned is non-commercial. No tickets, no tiers, no pitch.
Where is it?
The Mob Museum, in downtown Las Vegas, off the Strip, the morning before Black Hat Briefings. We are in the museum's restored 1930s courtroom. Exact check-in details travel with your invitation.
How do I get in?
Request an invitation. We keep the room small, so we cannot say yes to everyone, but we read every request.
Can I speak?
Maybe. Applications for August 4 are closed, but we're already thinking about the next one. Apply anyway.
Will the talks be online?
Yes. Every talk is professionally filmed and published after the event.
