  • Date & Location: June 4, 2026 | 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. | The Presidio, San Francisco.

  • The Theme: Moving beyond experimentation to the operational realities of securing autonomous AI agents.

  • Key Topics: AI agent security, runtime governance, automated red-teaming, multimodal guardrails, and privacy.

  • Academic & Industry Intersection: The event features founders and researchers from Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UIUC alongside C-suite leaders from major tech and finance firms.

A High-Stakes Speaker Lineup

The conference bridges the gap between frontier AI research and enterprise security. Notable speakers include:

  • Sandeep Pombra, Principal Architect at NVIDIA

  • Leon Bian, VP of Product, AI & Data Security at Capital One

  • Ravi Krishnamurthy, VP of Product for AI Foundations at ServiceNow

  • Sunil Agrawal, CISO at Glean

  • Seth Spiel, Head of Product (Security AI) at Splunk

  • Virtue AI Founders: Including Bo Li (CEO), Dawn Song, Carlos Guestrin, and Sanmi Koyejo.

Securing the "Wild West" of AI Agents

As AI agents gain the ability to retrieve sensitive data and execute workflows in production, traditional security infrastructure is proving insufficient. Virtue AI’s CEO, Bo Li, describes this as a critical moment for the industry: "The industry needs deeper conversations around how these systems are secured, governed, evaluated, and monitored in production."

The sessions at CTRL+AI are designed to address the specific "infrastructure of trust" required to operationalize these systems. This includes real-world challenges in compliance, runtime protection, and the systematic governance needed to maintain visibility as AI autonomy increases.
