DEF CON 1 - A Personal Account

As time slips away, so do the memories of cons past.

In this talk I'm going to talk about DC1, its planning, execution, components, and challenges.

I'll give snippets of seemingly practical advise; don't design T-shirts with lots of dense text on the back, no matter how clever. I'll discuss of obvious misjudgments; don't invite both the prosecutor and the subject of an active prosecution without warning the parties. I'll also have some minor show and tell: first badge, first T-shirt copies of DC1 tapes, sketch of original DC1 logo.

With luck some old DC1 speakers will show up as well.
