TDI community at DEF CON 33 - open call

We are thrilled that we, The Diana Initiative, will be a community at DEF CON 33 - Aug. 7-10, 2025! We are seeking individuals who would like to help us provide content in / for our space Note we can not provide DEF CON badges for those running 1-2 events. In our space this year we want to provide 1) collaborative learning opportunities for our community (a call for content!) 2) tour groups to adventure to other parts of the conference (Group body doubling to help those nervous and anxious about going to a new place alone) 3) promotions of things at the event which our community would be interested in 4) reference desk to help people figure out a plan for getting the most out of their DEF CON experience No talks. No long workshops. No things that fit better with other existing villages or communities. We want to promote and not duplicate things other communities are doing. To accomplish this, we need your help 1) Can you moderate and participate in a discussion around a topic relevant and specific to our community? 2) Is your DEF CON contest, village or event open to us popping by for a tour? Let us know! 3) Is your contest, village or event hosting some content we should promote to our community? Let us know! For example the DEF CON networking area, the Lonely Hackers resume review and career advice workshops, N00bz village beginner CTF, Physical Security village - no experience or tools needed, get hands on right away and try out some things like lockpicking, etc. 4) Volunteers who have attended multiple DEF CON including last year (DEF CON 32) Who is our community? All those underrepresented in information security, but specifically those who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, women, disabled, etc. Note: everyone is welcome! we are just focused on our specific subgroup of the community to hopefully provide unique discussion and learning spaces which don't fit in other spaces.
