Invitation-Only Events
Some of the best moments at Black Hat happen after the badges come off. Primary hosted two exclusive after-hours events at Bellagio.

Party with Primary
Two Nights, By Invitation Only
Black Hat draws thousands to the Strip. Primary hosted two of the most exclusive nights in Vegas, tucked away from the show floor inside two of Bellagio's most sought-after venues, on Tuesday, August 4, and Wednesday, August 5.
Cocktails & Conversation at the Chairman’s Suite
High above the Strip, with the noise of the show floor entirely out of reach, Primary leadership hosted a select group of industry executives in Bellagio's private Chairman's Suite over handcrafted cocktails, elevated bites, and the kind of conversation that doesn't happen in a booth. Former White House cybersecurity czar Richard Clarke and industry trailblazer Peiter "Mudge" Zatko weighed in on where identity security and agentic AI are headed next.
Primary After Dark at The Pinky Ring by Bruno Mars
The Pinky Ring by Bruno Mars is the Vegas lounge people line up for, and for one night, Primary had it. A top-shelf open bar, handcrafted cocktails, world-class live entertainment, and legendary Vegas glamour, curated down to the last detail — an evening spent in the company of VIPs and industry insiders.
