DEFCON 30
&
GIRLS HACK VILLAGE

Hello everyone, Girls Hack Village was invited to be a part of DEFCON and we are so excited. For those that don’t know about DEFCON here is a little something to bring you up to speed.

DEF CON (also written as DEFCONDefcon or DC) is one of the world’s largest and most notable hacker conventions, held annually in Las VegasNevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalistslawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in softwarecomputer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be “hacked”. The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied, and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection (aircrack-ng) to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.From entrepreneurs to developers, marketing managers, CEOs and policymakers – all of our 5,000 attendees are looking to stay on top of the latest trends, meet their next client or partner, and connect with other people interested in the future of technology, innovation, marketing and imagination. What about you?

Who We Are?

Girls Hack Village seeks to bring gender diverse perspectives of the contributions, perspectives, and issues facing women/girl hackers. It is a space to discuss issues affecting girls in cybersecurity and will
include Talks, Workshops, Discussions and Panels.

What We Do?

Our village is designed to highlight the contributions and experiences of girls in cybersecurity. Women are underrepresented in cybersecurity and our goal is to highlight the female experience in Cybersecurity. Women are traditionally underrepresented at defcon and the girlshackvillage will give attendees the opportunity to learn about cybersecurity and hacking in a gender friendly place

Our Goals?

Girls Hack Village seeks to highlight the female experience as researchers, hackers, engineers, and pentesters within the cybersecurity industry. Our village highlights how the lack of gender equality in the field affects the culture and the experience of women in the industry. We will highlight the
contributions of girls/women in the field and discuss how they’ve shaped and contributed to the cyber community
