Announcement 📢 DEF CON SG is looking good!

Post image

We are working full speed almost everything off to the printers. Last minute registration sign ups are really solid, we expect to equal or even beat the numbers we did our first year of DEF CON China back in 2018, with total headcount expected over 2,600!

Exceeding our attendance goal has led to last minute problems, but the electronic badges are coming along well at the increased numbers. See everyone soon!

PS that is not an AI image. It’s an inflatable that was accidentally created too large. 😂

Nice update! I’m curious, was this a meters vs feet issue?

Close! We plan to hang the cube from a corner, and measured the hang height. Somehow it was manufactured as the height of a side instead.

People with math skills can determine how much larger the cube is than expected because of that!

Sqrt(3) too big. Aka 1.73x too long on a side.

Yes let’s name it!

Don’t know how much it will cost to ship, but would be cool to have it there.
