@socketwench I first went to Def Con in '96. I didn't go back until 23 years later! Now I go every year.
It's a community, and you don't have to be there in person but it's better in person. It's also really large, and you can make great connections with your peers at regional conferences like #BSides without breaking your budget.
Even if you aren't there this year, don't worry, it was canceled. 😉
We'll see you when you can make it. 🍻
