A DEF CON Village
While DEF CON itself is a conference, its is also comprised of multiple villages including the Social Engineering Community.
Villages are dedicated spaces arranged around a specific topic. Villages may be considered mini conferences within the con, with many holding their own independent talks as well as hands-on activities such as CTFs, or labs.
