XmasCon26
Refuge from the chaos of DEF CON. A hangout suite by day, a party by night. And for the first time, we have our own CTF. 🎄
What is XmasCon?
XmasCon is a roomcon with a 10-year history of providing refuge from the circus of DEF CON while connecting more people every year. The suite is open during the daytime for collaborative CTF work, watching DEF CON talks streaming from the couches, and as a general hangout space.
At night things flip into party mode. We usually have some fun giveaways, and for the first time this year we're also hosting a CTF. Also — it's free!
The Plaid suite is right next door, so you can bounce between the two.
Hours are intermittent — check here before you head up.
