Currently there’s no way to gather everyone together and keep them safe, so @thedarktangent has decided to cancel the in-person event.
We will try an on-line experiment this year - DEF CON Safe Mode. Please read DT's thoughts on the situation here [ ]
#defcon28 has entered Safe Mode.
The #DEFCONiscanceled meme has crossed over into real life, courtesy of #COVID19. In early March we had hopes that things would be stable by August. That is no longer realistic.
From today until Memorial Day, you can view the full HBO documentary Kill Chain for free on HBO's YouTube Channel! The topic of this doc is election security and features our very own DEF CON Voting Village! Check it out!

AFKxp will remain OPEN NOON - Midnight daily in @DowntwnCampbell. We're here for the community during these stressful, challenging times. To help create a more safe & comfortable venue we’ve incorporated precautions that encourage social distancing.
