NOTE (5-29-2023) The power that be at DEF CON have informed us that they'll not be allocated badges for village presenters this year. As a result if you want to be considered to get a badge, please sign sign up to be village staff or a VE. Sorry for any inconvience.
We are looking for presentations, demonstrations, experiments, discussions, and anything else related to amateur radio that you would like to share with the world at DEF CON 31!
If you have something that you've been wanting to share about amateur radio, now is the time! Even if you think your topic is "weird", someone at DEF CON will take interest in it!
Presentation slots are typically 30 minutes or one hour in total, therefore including a Q&A that typically follows and may take 5-10 minutes based on the number of questions following an presentation. If you have a topic that warrants additional time, let us know in the form and we'll get back to you.
All those who contribute to the Ham Radio Village are entitled to a benefactor membership within the HRV, which waves membership dues into our happy little ham radio club.
Once your submittal is accepted, we'll share additional information with you/may request additional details should they be needed.
Badges are available for volunteers upon request, but please note they are distributed primarily in a first come, first serve criteria based on the time of submittal for your application, and the anticipated level of contribution. Because the HRV only receives a limited amount of badges, all those that request a badge may not get one. If you are allocated a badge, you should be notified approx. 1 month before the conference (based on last year's timeline)
If you have any questions/concerns, contact one of the village officers on the HRV Discord server:
