Black Hat USA 2026 – New Features

Black Hat USA 2026 isn’t just bigger… It’s built differently, and Black Hat is closing the gap between knowing and doing. 

This video walks through some of our new features, the team building them explain what’s coming and why it matters:

Arsenal Labs is reunited with Arsenal. The Interface showcases CTF arenas, including scenarios across healthcare, retail, and more, VR breach investigations, and escape rooms. Our NOC Outpost allows you to step beyond the glass and work alongside the team protecting the event in real time. Bricks and Picks introduces real-world physical security scenarios. The Main Stage moves to the Business Hall floor. A First-Timers Program launches for anyone walking into their first Black Hat. Networking is easier throughout the new Cyber District.
