Black Hat USA 2027

Black Hat USA 2027 runs 31 July to 5 August 2027 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Founded by Jeff Moss in 1997 and now run by Informa Festivals, Black Hat is built in three parts: multi-day Trainings delivered by vendors and independent instructors, the two-day Briefings of peer-reviewed original security research, and Arsenal, where researchers and the open-source community demonstrate new tooling. Recent editions have added a dedicated Summit Day between the Trainings and the Briefings, and The AI Summit at Black Hat USA is already scheduled for 3 August 2027 at the same venue. The Business Hall runs alongside the Briefings as the industry's largest vendor floor. The 2027 call for papers, agenda and registration prices had not opened when this listing was written.

A CISO gets two things here that no vendor briefing provides: the original research behind the vulnerabilities their organisation will be asked about next quarter, and a dedicated AI Summit day covering how attackers are using models and how model-based systems are themselves being attacked. The Business Hall is the most efficient way to survey the security vendor market in one place, Arsenal shows open-source tooling running live before you commit engineering time to it, and the multi-day Trainings mean a team can leave with certified, practised capability rather than notes.

• ✓Briefings — two days of peer-reviewed original security research
• ✓Trainings — multi-day hands-on courses from vendors and independent instructors
• ✓Arsenal — live demonstrations of new open-source security tooling
• ✓The AI Summit at Black Hat USA, 3 August 2027, Mandalay Bay
• ✓Summit Day sitting between the Trainings and the main conference
• ✓Business Hall — the industry's largest security vendor exhibition

• ★The Briefings are peer-reviewed original research, not vendor sessions — this is where major vulnerability disclosures land, and it has been for nearly thirty years
• ★The AI Summit at Black Hat USA is a scheduled, separately programmed day (3 August 2027) rather than an AI track bolted onto a security agenda
• ★Arsenal gives open-source tool authors a live demonstration slot, so defenders can evaluate tooling by watching it run rather than reading a repository
• ★Trainings are multi-day, hands-on and instructor-led, making the week a genuine skills purchase for a security team rather than a conference trip
• ★Sitting immediately before DEF CON in Las Vegas concentrates the global security research community in one city for a single week
