If they do this, Defcon 23 will be in Mexico or Canada, I suspect. (I'm speaking AT DC22, but I can't speak for Defcon, but I've been going since DC7 and I'm pretty familiar with how they think.) Montreal would rock.
BTW, there's an awesome conference in Beijing I'm going to submit to -- http://xcon.xfocus.org/ http://xcon.xfocus.org/
- zitterbewegung 12y agoHow long of a notice would Defcon have to reschedule? Especially since they probably have the hotel booked and everything else? Also they would have to inform all speakers that it would be held in Mexico / Canada and some people might not want to come so it really just hurts the Conference in general. But regardless we still have to wait and see if Visa letters start getting rejected.
- rdl 12y ago8-12 months, most likely. I guess the most plausible situation would be a split con, with most of it still in Las Vegas, but live VTC stream to a parallel con elsewhere. Black Hat would not move; Defcon and Blackhat hate each other now, but it's still a big draw (your work usually will let you expense Blackhat, and Defcon is on the weekend after)
- tptacek 12y agoDefcon and Black Hate "hate each other now"? Huh?

- rasz_pl 12y agoSure. Defcon is the beacon of fair and balance, true champions of moral choices. This is why they had liar and traitor Keith B Alexander as a speaker and are actively helping feds recruit from hacker community.
- Dystopian 12y agoWhile Canada would certainly welcome you - I'm guessing a large segment of the demographic would get stuck at the border (criminal convictions and such).
