For speakers
GAISS spotlights people who can connect rigorous secure-AI work to what teams ship. Here is how we think about invitations, talks, and support-not the hour-by-hour schedule.
Who we invite
We feature people who can speak credibly to secure Generative AI in the wild-peer-reviewed work, shipped defenses, or hard-won operational lessons.
What we reward
Strong submissions frame assumptions, show evidence, and leave the room with concrete next steps-not slide filler or vague future vision.
Your audience
You are in front of track chairs, sponsor engineers, and builders who care about adversarial pressure, governance, and trustworthy deployment.
Support
Accepted speakers get scheduling guidance, session format notes, and A/V support so you can focus on the content, not the runway.
Get involved
Interested in speaking at GAISS? Applications are reviewed by the organizing team-we will follow up with format options and next steps.
