The best security conversations don't happen in a conference session. They happen with a drink in your hand, next to someone fighting the same fire you are.

FUEL SoCal is taking over Topgolf Los Angeles in El Segundo for an evening built around two things: honest threat intelligence, and the people in this market you should actually know.

Come hang out. Grab a drink. Meet the practitioners, engineers, and security leaders running programs across LA, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Then hear from a Unit 42 researcher on what attackers are really doing with AI — and stick around for bays, food, and a couple more rounds.

No pitch. No pressure. No golf experience required. Register with the email address where you want your CPE certificate sent.

The briefing

A researcher from Unit 42 — Palo Alto Networks' threat intelligence and incident response team — will cover how adversaries are operationalizing AI right now:

• LLM-powered social engineering, recon, and malware development at scale

• What agentic attack tooling actually looks like in the wild, versus the hype

• Frontier model risk from the defender's seat: prompt injection, data poisoning, and the exposure created by the AI apps your own company is shipping

• What Unit 42 is seeing across live incident response engagements

• Where defenders should be spending attention over the next 12 months

Then we open the floor. This session is off the record — no recordings, no slides posted afterward. That's the only way you get the candid version.

Agenda

• 5:00 – 5:30 PM — Check-in, drinks, and open networking

• 5:30 – 6:00 PM — Unit 42 briefing and open Q&A (off the record)

• 6:00 – 8:00 PM — Topgolf bays, food, drinks, and more networking

What you get

• Free to attend — food and drinks are on us all night

• Topgolf bay time, clubs and balls included

• CPE certificates issued after the event

• FUEL SoCal swag

• A real network — the people you'll want to call the next time something breaks at 2 AM

Who should come

Security engineers, architects, analysts, SOC and IR practitioners, GRC and risk professionals, and security leaders across Southern California. Whether you're building a program, running one, or working toward your next role — this is the room.

You don't need to be a Palo Alto Networks customer. You don't need to have ever held a golf club. Nobody's keeping score.
