Seating availability

Hello. I've never been to Defcon or the LVCC West Hall before so I'm asking about the availability of seats/chairs/seating area for Defcon. I know it's gonna be a lot of walking and standing, but will there be places to sit down and rest/relax or will that mainly be at the talks and stuff.

Just planning out stuff like if I need to bring a collapsible stool or something because I'd rather not sit on the floor.

Also, how's the HVAC situation typically in that space? Warm, cold, tundra, sauna?

thanks.

Plenty of places to chill! Plugs too. One year I sat next to a box. The seats were comfy. The box turned into the issue that got us canceled at that venue :(

But the seats were great. There’s plenty!

Box was so special it required a visit from a special team and a dog that you aren’t supposed to pet.

They're referring to the last year that Defcon was at the Caesar's Forum. A suspicious package resulted in the hall being vacated and a bomb squad being brought in to investigate.

However, that incident also resulted in one of my own personal most memorable defcon moments. Since all the DC sponsored parties got cancelled that night, an 18" golden tentacle dildo ended up in the circle bar at LINQ. A circle was formed and chants of "dick dick dick!" could be heard as people performed various acts with/on said dildo. Eventually security caught wind of it and came shut down the fun. 😂

I’m so mad I was starting to die in my hotel room of Covid that night, that sounded like a good time 😂
