Quiet Room
Quiet Room
Diana Initiative is excited to offer up a "Quiet Room" again this year. 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. This year we are partnering with Mental Health Hackers to make it even better!
LVCC Room: W204
Schedule: TBA

Reference Desk
Reference Desk
Not the NFO desk, but a service for overwhelmed individuals. Our friendly volunteers at our reference desk can help you come up with a plan before going back out into DEF CON. 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.
Located in our Community Room LVCC Room W205

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