About
Great ideas begin with great conversations.
Après-Cyber Slopes Summit advances the cybersecurity community by bringing professionals together to explore the opportunities and challenges of AI, through education, innovation and personal connection.
Why Après exists
We wanted a conference about the practical, real-world use of AI in cybersecurity: offense and defense, software development, governance and research. Nobody was running it, so we built it.
Après is French for after. Après-ski is the gathering after a day on the slopes, and we think the most valuable moments at any conference happen in the conversations after the talks.
What that means
- AI-focused. Every session is about how AI is changing security.
- Practical. Ideas you can apply the week you get home.
- Intentionally small, so conversations matter.
- A mountain destination built for learning, networking and reflection.
- Built by the community, organized by volunteers and security professionals.
