We've said it before, but Thursday is the Friday of the late midweek. That's a perfect time to visit media.defcon.org or the #defcon YouTube channel for a refreshing binge of #defcon32 videos. Come through for some knowledge, and be sure to #passiton.
Good news, everyone! We’ve already got some discounted room blocks you can use to lock down your lodgings for #DEFCON33.
DC33 doesn’t kick off until August 7, 2025, but that’s no reason to lollygag. If you’re a high-octane go-getter you already know how good it feels to get those To-Do items checked off early. If not, this is far enough ahead to forget you booked and give yourself a nice surprise when there’s one less thing to do at crunch time.
You can book at the Sahara
https://book.passkey.com/e/50911722
and the Venetian

now and get the DC33 ball rolling. We’ll keep you posted as additional options become available.
We’re already 2 months closer to the next #DEFCON. Be prepared.

We’ll be posting the videos on YouTube Monday.
