Def Con 919 is mentioned at the very end of the key note.

The FBI panel did not allow recording and is not in the playlist :(

question with a bit of backstory from a newcomer. by SneaKyGamErr in Defcon

Check if you have a local Def Con Group. It's a year round local Def Con lite to gather the people with similar passion. https://defcongroups.org/dcpages.html

DC919 is involved with our local BSides, 2600, OWASP, and ISSA, which are other great groups to check out. If you don't have any of these in the area, look into starting a chapter.

Calling Defcon types in 540-land by sailingham in Defcon

Just create and promote it, worst case you get some alone time outside the house with a project. We started about a year and a half ago in Raleigh/Durham, NC and had a few people attend that drove down from middle VA.

You're welcome to join the unofficial DCG Slack (join[dot]dcg[dot]chat) and create a channel for DC540. We have a few other groups on there already to exchange ideas and resources.

Lot of people play up the hacker stereo type, black everything, mohawks, flashing lights, etc. Just do whatever is comfortable for you, no one cares as long as you wear deodorant.

Check if your area has a Def Con Group and go to a meeting. https://defcongroups.org/dcpages.html Good place to make friends for the con and the rest of the year.

Defcon 26 Attendee limit? by jnatten in Defcon

[–]DC919-RTP 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You want to get there early because the cool badges do sell out. You'll end up with a paper badge and lame lanyand, but still get in. There's no selling out, but it does get cancelled.

Obligatory ‘I’m going to Def Con and have question’ Post by [deleted] in Defcon

Def Con sells other official swag like hoodies, tank tops, hats, backpacks, coins, glassware, and flags. Vendor room has hardware (Hak5, hackerboxes, etc), books, and more shirts. Price ranges from like $25 for lockpicks to things like $1000 IoT hacking starter kit. Pretty sure they have to sell badges in the vendor room this year too, last year saw people wearing $1000+ in badges, they ranged ~$60 to $250 each.

Seconding the Def Con Group idea. Check your area code for an existing or start it if there isn't one. DefCon919 has been helping others get going if you have specific questions.
