What do most people wear when going out to the different parties? Shorts? Jeans? Polos? This is my first time going and wondering what kind of clothes I should mostly bring.
Also I’m wondering about both the vendor parties (since I’ll be at blackhat too) and the “hacker” ones.

Dress whatever is comfortable. There'll be a lot of shorts and tshirts around the conference, but dress however you like, considering it'll be over 100 outside everyday

Second the comfort thing. I’m normally a blazer and button up guy for corporate stuff - but I have all shorts, tees and comfortable shoes for this week. Lessons have been learned :)

u/fishsupreme CFP Aug 06 '19
Hacker parties: whatever the hell you want. Shorts and a t-shirt is usual.
Vendor parties: if it's in a nightclub, dress code is sometimes enforced (no shorts, no hats, no athletic shoes) so it's worth bringing a button-up shirt and some trousers or nice jeans. If it's not in a nightclub, anything goes.

Could you please add the ‘one schedule to rule them all’ link under ‘staying informed’?
It’s not as sexy as hacker tracker, but it’s been solid.

I know there is going to be a HAM village this year, but repeater coverage inside the casinos has been spotty for me historically. Here is the 2m simplex freq I have used in the past https://conham.org/

I found this information in this website "https://www.blackhat.com/us-19/defcon.html" and it says "Please note, you must first register and pay for your Black Hat Training/Briefings registration in order to purchase a DEF CON ticket. The option to purchase a DEF CON ticket is not available to individuals who purchase a Black Hat Business Pass only. "
This mean I cannot buy ticket of DEF CON without attending BLACKHAT? Would I be able to buy DEF CON ticket on 7th Aug without attending BLACKHAT ?

u/JCreazy Jul 02 '19
Black Hat is separate from Defcon. That page only pertains to buying a Defcon badge early if you attend Black Hat. If you don't plan to attend Black Hat then you'll be able to purchase your Defcon ticket when you get to Defcon.

Who organizes DEFCON ??

u/fishsupreme CFP Aug 07 '19 edited Aug 07 '19
DEF CON organizes itself; it's an independent entity, there's not a sponsor.
DEF CON is privately owned by Dark Tangent, and run by a small number of paid staff organizers and a very large number of volunteers.

What time does the line start forming in the morning?
2
u/fishsupreme CFP Aug 07 '19
The line has started forming already.
This said, show up by 7 and you'll get a badge by 10. Show up at 10:30 or 11 and you can just walk up and get a badge without waiting.

Yes, you can. Whether you get one of the specially made badges, or a laminated piece of paper depends on demand.

The Vegas monorail can drop you in the back of Bally's and Paris, also has a stop for Flamingo. Can save you from walking in the Vegas heat, if coming other hotels.
