Finalized Announcement: 6/12/1993
|
||
|
||
We are proud to announce the 1st annual Def Con.
|
||
|
||
If you are at all familiar with any of the previous Con's, then you
|
||
will have a good idea of what DEF CON I will be like. If you don't have any
|
||
experience with Con's, they are an event on the order of a pilgrimage to
|
||
Mecca for the underground. They are a mind-blowing orgy of information
|
||
exchange, viewpoints, speeches, education, enlightenment... And most of all
|
||
sheer, unchecked PARTYING. It is an event that you must experience at least
|
||
once in your lifetime.
|
||
|
||
The partying aside, it is a wonderful opportunity to met some of the
|
||
celebrities of the underground computer scene. And those that shape its
|
||
destiny - the lawyers, libertarians, and most of all the other There will
|
||
be plenty of open-ended discussion on security, telephones and other
|
||
topics. As well as what TIME magazine calls the "Cyberpunk Movement".
|
||
|
||
Las Vegas, is as you might have guessed a great choice for the Con.
|
||
Gambling, loads of hotels and facilities, cheap air fare and room rates.
|
||
It's also in the West Coast making it more available to a different crowd
|
||
than the former Cons have been.
|
||
|
||
Your foray into the scene and your life will be forever incomplete
|
||
if by some chance you miss out on DEF CON I. Plan to be there!
|
||
|
||
|
||
WHO: You know who you are.
|
||
WHAT: Super Blowout Party Fest, with Speakers and Activities.
|
||
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada
|
||
WHEN: July 9th, 10th and 11th (Fri, Sat, Sun) 1993
|
||
WHY: To meet all the other people out there you've been talking to for
|
||
months and months, and get some solid information instead of rumors.
|
||
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION:
|
||
|
||
So your bored, and have never gone to a convention? You want to meet
|
||
all the other members of the so called 'computer underground'? You've been
|
||
calling BBS systems for a long time now, and you definitely have been
|
||
interacting on the national networks. You've bullshitted with the best,
|
||
and now it's time to meet them in Vegas! For me I've been networking for
|
||
years, and now I'll get a chance to meet everyone in the flesh. Get
|
||
together with a group of your friends and make the journey.
|
||
|
||
We cordially invite all hackers/phreaks, techno-rats, programmers,
|
||
writers, activists, lawyers, philosophers, politicians, security officials,
|
||
cyberpunks and all network sysops and users to attend.
|
||
|
||
DEF CON I will be over the weekend in the middle of down town Las
|
||
Vegas at the Sands Hotel. Why Las Vegas? Well the West Coast hasn't had
|
||
a good Convention that I can remember, and Las Vegas is the place to do it.
|
||
Cheap food, alcohol, lots of entertainment and, like us, it never sleeps.
|
||
We will have a convention room open 24 hours so everyone can meet and plan
|
||
and scheme till they pass out. Events and speakers will be there to provide
|
||
distraction and some actual information and experiences from this loosely
|
||
knit community.
|
||
|
||
This is an initial announcement. It is meant only to alert you to
|
||
the time, dates and location of the convention. Future announcements will
|
||
inform you about specific speakers and events.
|
||
|
||

|
||
in the cd/pub/dtangent directory. The IP# is 192.135.191.1 Information
|
||
