Venue Info: Floor Plan

LVCC West Hall Level 1 Floor Plan map with arrows showing how to find Crypto & Privacy Village from the North Lobby and South Entrance. Hall 1 begins at the South Entrance where Talk Tracks 1-4 are, and Hall 4 ends with the North Lobby. CPV is at the far right of Hall 2 closest to the wall between aisle 10 and 9, next to Cloud Village and IoT Village. There are arrows showing how to find Creator Stage 1 and Creator Stage 2, with Creator Stage 1 a direct path down, Creator Stage 2 nearby with 4 turns to reach there with some mildly curvy turns due to the shape of the jagged floor plan layout.

Volunteering

The Crypto & Privacy Village would not be possible without volunteers. We are wholly volunteer-run, volunteer-led, sponsorship-free. Thank you to all of our volunteers, old and new, for making the Crypto & Privacy Village at DEF CON possible! There are different volunteer roles available to choose from. Each play an important and vital role to make CPV successful.
