Regarding the recent Ceasers Property abrupt termination after 25 years of the #DEFCON contract, DT and his team alreadly secured another venue at LVCC. DEFCON is a family and way of life. We WILL have a great CON and nothing will stop the largest #hacker community in history! See you all at Hacker summer camp! https://forum.defcon.org/node/248360

(filedata/fetch?filedataid=4223) DEF CON was canceled. We un-canceled it. After a great 25 year relationship Caesars abruptly terminated their contract with DEF CON, leaving us with no venue for DC 32, and just about seven months to Con! We don’t know why Caesars canceled us, they won’t say beyond it being a strategy

@kevinthomas 👍 would be excellent if the “space management infrastructure” of this venue could be used to regain some of the intimacy that’s been lost over the years with such incredible growth in attendance numbers(!); i’m also leaning heavily towards this being a positive rather than something negative.
