AI SOC Summit Announced — Inaugural Practitioner Event for AI in Security Operations

Crogl today announced the AI SOC Summit, a new annual event dedicated to honest, practitioner-led conversation about deploying AI agents in security operations centers.

The inaugural AI SOC Summit will take place March 3, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Tysons Corner in Tysons, Virginia.

Unlike traditional security conferences dominated by vendor presentations, the AI SOC Summit is built around practitioner experience. The event features a hands-on hackathon where attendees build real investigation workflows using AI agents, breakout sessions led by security operators who have deployed AI in production SOC environments, and facilitated discussions about what works, what doesn't, and what the industry needs to get right.

"The security operations community deserves a space where practitioners can learn from each other — not from vendors trying to sell them something," said Monzy Merza, Founder and CEO of Crogl. "The AI SOC Summit is that space. No product pitches. No marketing talks. Just honest conversation between the people who are actually doing this work."

The event is open to security practitioners, detection engineers, SOC analysts, and security operations leaders. Registration details and the full agenda will be available at crogl.com/events.
