Now that we’ve got the venue stuff sorted out, we’re ready to announce the theme!

This year’s theme is “Engage”. The internet may be trending toward a dystopia of dark patterns and walled gardens, but we can do better. We know how. The antidote to apathy and doomscrolling is engagement. You can read ’s full post about it here: https://forum.defcon.org/node/248361.

The visual vibes are Y2K inspired and you can get your color palette, fonts and whatnot in the style guide at https://defcon.org/html/defcon-32/dc-32-theme.html.

As always, we are excited to see where you’ll take this. Let’s GO.

DEF CON was canceled - we uncanceled it.

After a great 25 year relationship Caesars abruptly terminated their contract with DEF CON, leaving us with no venue for DC 32, and just about seven months to Con!

We don’t know why Caesars canceled us, they won’t say beyond it being a strategy change and it is not related to anything that DEF CON or our community has done. The parting is confusing, but amicable.

We immediately scrambled a venue strike team to Las Vegas. Floors were walked. Meetings were held. Hands were shook and options weighed. When the smoke cleared, the field narrowed to one obvious choice.

W00T! DEF CON Is UN-CANCELED!

DEF CON 32 will still be August 8-11 2024, but now held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) with workshops and training at the Sahara.

We started a live FAQ section on the Forums for DEF CON 32 where we will be updating as we get info. The initial FAQ is located here: https://forum.defcon.org/node/248358

P.S. We made shirts and stickers:
