DEF CON Conference

We know DEF CON and Vegas can be a lot. If you're a friend of Bill W who's looking for a meeting or just a place to collect yourself, DEF CON 31 has you covered. Join us throughout the conference in the Friends of Bill W. Community Space at Studio One at Harrah's.

DEF CON is an annual hacker convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It is also known as DEFCON, Defcon, or DC. DEF CON, founded in 1993 by Jeff Moss, is today regarded as one of the world’s most prominent and well-known computer security conferences.

Computer security specialists, journalists, lawyers, federal government personnel, security researchers, students, and hackers are among those who attend the event.

DEF CON serves as a forum for the newest innovations in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be “hacked.”

The conference features many speaker tracks covering a wide range of computer and hacking issues, cyber-security challenges, and competitions known as hacking wargames. DEF CON is famed for its contests, which range from constructing the longest Wi-Fi connection to figuring out the best way to cool a drink in the Nevada heat. Lockpicking, robotics-related contests, art, slogan, coffee wars, scavenger hunt, and Capture the Flag (CTF) are among the other contests.
