@dotjayne last #Kawaiicon I attended in 2022 in New Zealand (#infosec con that succeeded #Kiwicon), mask wearing was mandatory and free masks and RAT tests provided thanks to support from sponsors and NZ Ministry of Health. Over 1700 people in a crowded venue. Only spreading was at side events where people unmasked.

A week ago I came back from #Chcon, my first non-Kawaiicon #infosec conference. So it was quite a bit of fun going through some of my photos from 10 #Kiwicon / #Kawaiicon events and realise for how long I've known some people already yet usually only see once a year. What a treat now to have had the opportunity for a second time this year. https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk/collections/72157637469446115
Kiwicon - Kawaiicon

Kiwicon is THE hacker con in New Zealand, held in November each year (except 2017). It turned into Kawaiicon in 2019.
