Hello, I want to come but am in a wheelchair. If I can get help to push me can someone get in with my ticket with me please ?!

Greetings, and welcome to DEF CON!

The rules are that if you are an ADA attendee , and you have a personal attendant that stays with you at all times ( like , pushing your wheelchair ) they can receive a paper ( non electronic ) HUMAN badge at no cost. Just let them know at registration, and if there are any issues have them radio call me ( Delchi ) with HDA ( Hackers with Disabilities ) and I'll give you a hand.

That said, most hotels can rent you a motorized scooter so that you can drive yourself around if you are able to. I personally have a power wheelchair ( heavily modded! You can't miss it! ) and we have several other attendees that use them. We have a community space that is located in Harrah's ... take a look at the HDA infopack for more details or PM me and I'll help out.

If you have any further questions please let me know.
