ICS Village will be 100% virtual at DEF CON 29. Talks will be released on our YouTube channel at the scheduled times below, but don’t worry if you can’t catch them—they’ll be available on YouTube indefinitely.
Still, you’ll want to try and catch them live if you can, because we’ll also be hosting real-time Q&A sessions with speakers on our Discord channel at the same time as the talks (again, following the schedule below). No registration is required—just pop in whenever you want.
Our Discord channel is on the DEF CON Discord server, which you can join join here. Once you’ve joined, navigate to the #roles channel, react with the house emoji to view channels for villages, and then join the ICS Village channel (on the left sidebar). (If you are reading this before DEFCON 29, be aware that some of this functionality may not be set up yet!)
ICS Village will also feature several workshops and CTFs! Be sure to give them a shot:
