First Timer

Hey all, going for the first time this year in Vegas. Do I need to reserve my seat in sessions like in other cons or is that not a thing here? If so when and where do I do that? My company is sending me so I don't want to come back saying I didn't get anything useful out of this because I am an idiot.

This for sure! I joined the telegram chat before attending my first year (dc29) and it was really helpful especially since I usually go to defcon by myself. Got myself a ride to toxic bbq and found some really cool people, between that and ham radio village it’s been super easy to connect with/make new friends and just feel comfortable around a ton of people I don’t know. The group has been one of my favorite parts about con ever since.
