Après-ski is the gathering after a day on the slopes. We built a summit around it. The talks are great, but the conversations after the talks are where the ideas start.
Après is intentionally small, relentlessly practical, and focused on one question: what is AI doing to cybersecurity, and what do we do about it? Offense, defense, governance, and the people building the tools. Meet the team.

Challenges simulate real investigations: logs, binaries and artifacts. Some are noisy, some incomplete, some misleading. Flags sit behind analysis, not single tricks. Large language models are encouraged and expected throughout.
