What this is

A space for technical communities — not a stage for sales.

The AI Cyber Alliance and the Vigil Open Source Community bring together engineers, researchers, practitioners, and maintainers working across AI, cybersecurity, Cloud Native technologies, and open source.

Our goal is simple: create a space where technical communities can share ideas, learn from one another, and build meaningful connections. We welcome real-world case studies, open source project stories, production learnings, research, and live demonstrations.

We're community-first. We value talks that are educational, practical, and experience-driven — and we're not interested in product pitches or marketing presentations.
