Meet, greet, and party with DEF CONadians!

About Canada Hacking House

After going to DEF CON and other summer con activities in the desert for many years, we wanted to bring a part of us to DEF CON. The fresh cold air from the North, where we ride dog sleds and enjoy the occasional cold beer with a Polar bear on a Friday night. Come to meet many creative hackers from the Great White North, stay to slap sticks with other lovers of all thing Canadiana.
