The 1st annual Cranium AI Summit & Headbangers Ball in May of 2025 brought together over 200 of the brightest minds in AI security, governance, third-party risk and compliance for an unforgettable day of cutting-edge insights and live music.
This isn’t just another tech conference – it’s where AI Security and Governance meets Rock ‘n’ Roll – and the AI security and risk community comes together to share new breakthroughs, discuss the hot topics, and explore where the industry is going next.
Distinguished speakers and panelists for the 2025 event included a welcome address by the Governor of NJ, top executives from Vista Equity, JPMC, Deutsche Bank, BNY & more, plus featured keynotes from MITRE Atlas, TAG Cyber, and Shelly Palmer.
Sponsors for the 2025 event included Archer, KPMG, Halcyon, Shared Assessments, HGS & more, with special musical performance from Darryl DMC McDaniels and the Gin Blossoms.
Cranium is bringing the event back to Jersey City for 2026 with more sessions, pre-conference AI Security & AI Governance training, and more music!
