Policy @ DEF CON
@defconpolicy
Policy @ DEF CON has something for every-policy minded DEF CON attendee this year. Here's a sample of our state and local policy options.
This year's menu is long. Here's an amuse bouche of just some of our critical infrastructure policy talks.
Policy@DEF CON runs on people. We could use your help. Attaches get first-hand experience behind the scenes at a major conference. Perks include swag, undying gratitude, and ensuring a conference you’re already at doesn’t fall apart. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
