This is going to be my first time attending defcon and im still a begginer. I am currently transitioning from accounting work to security. Ive started with my Google cs cert and am doing try hack me now and will go for my comptia + after. My questions are first any suggestions on what villages I should focus on as someone in my position and begginer skill level . Im aiming to get Soc level 1 job to start when I can get my foot in the door. Second is there potential for job networking ? Also I noticed there are classes the week after is that just a more in depth teaching conference or ? Any advice I would appreciate it as a first timer . Any recommendations of things I should bring with me .

Not staying at a hotel nearby, but instead about 10 minutes away. Hotel prices are considerably cheaper. How bad is parking at the convention center? Will it be an issue finding a place to park? If I need to park way out in the boondocks, I'll live. I just have no idea on LVCC parking conditions.

I'm buying my tickets ahead of time online. Will I need to worry about badge availability? Will I need to worry about linecon if I already have my ticket/badge?]]> General Conversations Bart https://forum.defcon.org/node/255567 Question:How do I use this to meet red teamers in Canada? https://forum.defcon.org/node/255503 Tue, 10 Mar 2026 22:52:27 GMT General Conversations GhostOfNoNation https://forum.defcon.org/node/255503 Hack the Device https://forum.defcon.org/node/255285 Tue, 06 Jan 2026 10:44:34 GMT Hello Hackers!
