## Description

Another incredibly well known occasion in Las Vegas is Def Con, one of the most established and biggest security conferences on the planet.

The conference starts every year when its cousin, Black Hat, closes, so the occasions share numerous comparable subjects and topics. Be that as it may, Def Con acquires near 25,000 participants and is known for being a more stunning occasion with probably the best programmers going to on the planet. 

The occasion highlights speakers, contests, merchants, workshops, demo labs, and stimulation, also a lot of chances to coordinate with the world's best programmers and possibly get scouted by government authorities searching for programmer ability for knowledge and law implementation offices.

### Information = Knowledge = Prevention — 5/5

*By Gerardo Anglada*

As my title describes, having the information available its the most important phase of getting the right knowledge... in order to perform the prevention needed.

Congratulations this is a must event you should assist wherever you are involved in the IT industry or you as a user need to KNOW how to protect yourself.

It could be annoying when you don't know where to go cause there's too much, but it is a great event. Thanks and see you next year!
