Description
Event Name
Nix Vegas @ DEF CON 34
Event Website
https://nix.vegas/2026 and https://nix.vegas/2026/sponsor
Event Purpose
Spreading the functional software deployment model at DEF CON. DEF CON (https://defcon.org) is one of the world's largest hacking conferences and we're in our second year there. We have a schedule of talks lined up, preview is here: https://nix.vegas/blog/2026/sneak-preview/
Event Visitors
25000-30000 total, we probably got 300+ people through our community last year
Event Organizer
@djacu, @numinit, @rosscomputerguy (SoCal NixOS User Group @ https://socal-nug.com)
Budget amount
€1500 (~$1715)
Budget description
This supports our shirts, signage, and stickers.
We have two sponsors (Flox and Determinate Systems) who are helping pay for attendee badges for our speakers already (DEF CON is expensive, ~$560/badge), but the shirts and stickers we buy for participants run in the $2000-$3000+ range and anything helps. We typically bring any extras we have to NixCon. We also got unique art made this year, and this helps us pay our artist (Kenz Tobias) fairly.
Requested the typical amount for a sprint since that is the closest thing to our event.
