DEF CON is run by the DEF CON Group, a non-profit corporation formed in 1995. DEF CON is the largest hacker convention in the world, with over 10,000 attendees in 2019. DEF CON is known for its “capture the flag” competitions, its “hacker village”, and its “talks” by hackers and security professionals.
