You might even find that some cool people have already compiled a single page list of all DEF CON events and guides like this page. There are a whole bunch of unofficial events going on as well, and good places to find these would be reddit or twitter. This year, I downloaded the unofficial official app that helped compile the list of events going on and provided maps. There are many resources online including the official schedule to find DEF CON related events. That’s a piece of polished crystal stuck on a PCB (Last Minute) Planning? The conference lasts for 4 days though generally the first and last day don’t have much going on. It costs $300 CASH at the door and you get a badge that’s required to access the conference areas. This year, the conference spanned 4 hotels along the Vegas strip and was probably attended by more than 25k people. In general, attend whatever catches your interest.

It's not generally that useful to attend talks, especially the official talks. The official workshops are usually sold out way before the conference, but I managed to attend a few smaller ones that had walk-in registration.

Unfortunately for me, I there was no effort put into research prior to landing in Vegas. This time, armed with slightly more knowledge of the convention, I actually put some effort into planning the events I was going for. That time, I had no idea what I was doing, mostly walked around and did not really participate in much. The previous one I attended was DEF CON 24 back in 2016. This is the second time I’ve attended DEF CON.
