      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.
