Last year we had a Great year with Over 20 awesome villages.

DEF CON wants to have another awesome year for villages!!



If you are interested submitting to have a village present at DC27 Here are some things you should know up front:

Villages are expected to be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.



Some village talks will be recorded.



Information provided about the village will be used for Art, Marketing, Announcements et al.

Space is limited and the one thing we cannot easily make more of.

If your village plans to sell any items, you must be aware of and comply with the new Nevada state tax laws.

Now on to the submission requirements!

If you are interested in running a Village, email the village lead (Zantdoit) at zant (at) defcon.org with the following form (submit one form per Village). Please be as detailed as possible so that our review board can best evaluate your submissions. All submissions are due by February 15, 2019.



After your submission is received, we will respond and let you know we got it. If you have not received confirmation of your submission after two business days, contact Zantdoit again at: zant (at) defcon.org.



Pro tip: most of the time we’re in your spam box.



Thanks for helping grow DEF CON with new opportunities to help others learn and expand their knowledge. We hope that it was an enjoyable experience for those who have previously participated and we’re looking forward to continuing to grow with the community!



Thank you and good luck!
