DEFCON 34, the 34th DEF CON, brings the industry to Las Vegas, United States from 6 August 2026 to 9 August 2026. The event gathers experts and professionals from across the field for several days of knowledge-sharing and networking. Held every year, each edition stays fresh and timely. Las Vegas Convention Center provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme.

Set against the backdrop of Las Vegas, DEFCON 34 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Las Vegas is well connected by air and supported by an extensive local transport network, so travelling in from abroad or elsewhere in United States is rarely a hassle. When it comes to where to stay, Las Vegas offers everything from convenient venue-side hotels to boutique options in the heart of the city. Leave a little time to explore: Las Vegas's dining, culture and attractions make the trip about more than just the event. Within United States, Las Vegas stands out as a hub for business, trade and professional gatherings.

Across the schedule, Cyber Security, Ethical Hacking and Cyber Crime take centre stage, framed by case studies and practical takeaways. Highlights include keynote presentations, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. Generous breaks and social sessions leave plenty of room to network.

It is the kind of event where a single conversation can reshape a project. DEFCON 34 remains a key fixture for experts, buyers and partners from around the world, and an edition worth marking on the calendar.

As with most major events of this kind, registering in advance and planning your schedule ahead of time is recommended.
