Hi everyone,

This year will be my first time attending Fal.Con 2026, and it's also my first major cybersecurity conference(I am From Latin America), so I'm really excited.

I'll be staying at the MGM Grand, and I'd love to get some advice from people who have attended before.

A few questions:

• What are the "must-do" sessions or activities?
• How do you make the most out of the conference?
• Are there networking events that are worth attending?
• Any tips for meeting CrowdStrike engineers, product managers, or other security professionals?
• Is there anything outside the official agenda that first-time attendees usually miss?
• Any recommendations around the MGM or nearby for food, after-hours events, or places where attendees tend to hang out?

For context, I work as a Cybersecurity Team Lead with a focus on enterprise security, SOC operations, cloud security, and the CrowdStrike platform, so I'm hoping to learn as much as possible and connect with others in the community.

I'd appreciate any tips, recommendations, or lessons learned from previous Fal.Con events.

Thanks in advance!
