Thank you for your interest in submitting to Offensive AI Con. The CFP closes July 31, 2026..

We would love to see unique, cutting-edge talks submitted for the offensive use of AI for:

• Specialized datasets, models, reward functions, and training strategies
• Autonomous AI-based security testing beyond just a wrapper
• Efficient scaffolding, harness and multi-agent strategies
• Semi-autonomous offensive cyber operations
• AI-based vulnerability research, fuzzing, binary analysis and vuln discovery
• Exploit development acceleration using AI
• Dynamic capability development
• Small and forward deployed on-target models
• AI-based target identification and analysis (both cyber and kinetic)
• OODA workflows, guardrails, and multi-stage orchestration
• Offensive knowledge-assistants, AI-assisted, and fully autonomous offensive applications of AI
• Reducing human operator/researcher cognitive strain and addressing skill gaps
• Ethical dilemmas, risks vs. rewards, responsible use of offensive AI, and the unintended acceleration of cyber-warfare

Our guidance to increase your chance of being selected:

• Show the system: working code, architectures, harnesses, pipelines, benchmarks, or operational workflows.
• Prioritize practical engineering examples over abstract discussion.
• Submissions should include concrete implementations, system designs, evaluation results, or lessons from building and running real offensive AI workflows.
• We are looking for talks grounded in actual systems: agent harnesses, model pipelines, tooling integrations, eval environments, deployment patterns, failure modes, and measured results.
• Preference will be given to submissions that demonstrate something built, tested, benchmarked, or operationalized- not just proposed.

Tell us how you're solving interesting challenges or your achievements from unique research, but please, no product pitches! 

AI generated submissions, and AI wrappers will be disqualified.
