Just announced: MCP Security Conference

Bill Doerrfeld | September 1, 2026

Register for the MCP Security Conference on September 24.

Very excited for this one. I'm teaming up with Dan Barahona and AI Security University to put together the MCP Security Conference, a free half-day virtual event dedicated to MCP security ‼️



It's happening on September 24, 12-3pm ET. Totally free, online, and counts toward CPE credits. You can sign up here.


Dan and the AISec team have already seen huge interest around this topic, with 5,000+ people registered for their MCP Security Fundamentals course.


With the conference, the goal is to go deeper to help folks understand the risks around agentic AI and MCP, offer practical mitigations, and look at the emerging security tools and infrastructure being built around this space.


We already have an awesome cast of speakers on board and I'm excited to facilitate the discussion! We're also looking for more speakers and sponsors. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in getting involved.
