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.

Village Events
In this spectator event, teams take part in a live Social Engineering competition, where they test their vishing skills in front of our audience.
Attendees have a chance to experience the thrill of vishing, without pressure of a competition.
Join us for fun, interactive (if you choose to participate), bite-sized lessons in improv skills.
