Fal.Con 2026 was held at Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
CrowdStrike identified defenders, leaders, and innovators as the audience for Fal.Con 2026.
It is most useful for security operations teams, threat hunters and security leaders already running or evaluating CrowdStrike products, since the organizer is CrowdStrike, training courses were sold as add-ons and a Day Zero Threat Summit was scheduled to open the week. With an estimated 10,000+ attendees at Mandalay Bay, it worked as a large vendor-hosted conference; practitioners who do not use CrowdStrike, or who want a vendor-neutral program, would get less from it, and the speaker and sponsor lists had not yet been published beforehand.
Attendees at large cybersecurity conferences in Las Vegas usually wear casual business attire, such as jeans or slacks with a polo or branded tee, with comfortable shoes for long walks through a resort venue.
