Once again DEFCON Furs is having our own "unofficial" village!
Located in the Valley Tower of the Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel and open daily during the convention,
the DEFCON Furs - Furry Village is our official outpost at DEF CON 30.
The village will be providing a low-key, relaxed environment for everyone to come work on other contests,
get away from the crowds between DEF CON 30 talks or villages, or just relax and socialize with a drink from our hosted bar.
We will also be taking donations for swag in the Furry Village, and swag pickup will be available for those who donated before the con.
