All systems are go for DEF CON Singapore 2!

We’re excited to announce our return to Singapore 4-6 March, 2027.
Even better, DCSG2 follows directly after Black Hat Singapore. For BH attendees it’s a perfect opportunity to make a week of it.

We’ll be opening online registration soon.

We’re back at the lovely and capacious Marina Bay Sands, and we’re bringing the whole DEF CON experience with us. World class talks, immersive Villages, contests and entertainment.

Of course, if you want to do more than just attend, watch this space. Now that the dates are set we’ll be posting Calls for Papers, Contests, Villages, Communities, and Entertainment. The opportunities to participate are legion.

DEF CON Singapore 1 was amazing. We’re looking forward to rejoining our new friends and making new memories. We hope we’ll see you there.

Please save the date and follow us at defcon.social for all the latest news.

See you soon.

Friendly Reminder:

While supplies last, you can get the Baochip-enabled DEF CON 34 badge for $99 in the DEF CON store.

It's our best badge yet - a fully inspectable open source platform you can use as a security token or password manager or something cooler you cook up long after you've played through the conference goodies.

Shop.defcon.org. inventory is limited, so don't delay. Link in bio

"..casual light clothes such as T-shirts and shorts, but there are also people who wear dinosaur costumes and clothes full of personality that look like handmade devices all over their bodies." by @wearedefcon
