The Diana Initiative Community at DEF CON 33

Diana Initiative's Mission

To create a more inclusive information security industry.

Diana Initiative Community's overall goal

We want to support the underrepresented and underserved community at DEF CON.

We will have a community area at DEF CON 33

Quiet Room

LVCC Room(s): W206

Diana Initiative is excited to offer up a "Quiet Room". This room is a library vibes environment where people can calm down or recharge before going back out to experience more DEF CON, or even safely have a meltdown, stim, and take time to recenter. In our library area we will have fidget toys, coloring pages and more.  

Have ideas? Our call for ideas for the quiet room is open [submit your ideas here].

Discussion Groups

LVCC Room(s): W205

In our collaborative area we will be hosting birds of a feather conversations, small round table discussions, and more.

Have ideas? Our DEF CON call for content is also open [submit your ideas here].

Reference Desk

LVCC Room(s): W205

Our reference desk can help you come up with a plan before going back out into DEF CON, if you would like. The reference desk will work to find and connect you with the amazing events and communities at the conference, as well as in the community at large, that are best suited to your interests.

Tour Groups

Finally, for those who find it hard to dive into something new alone, we will be offering small tour groups to take people around to various villages, contests and communities.

Women, gender non-conforming and non-binary meetup with The Diana Initiative

LVCC Room(s): W205

We'd love to get all the gender non conforming, non-binary and women together to hang out and make friends! DEF CON is better with friends. Stop in for a bit, or the whole time.

Night: Friday

Time: 21:00 - 23:30
