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.
New to CPV and want to volunteer at Crypto & Privacy Village? We’d love to have you next year!
Volunteer orientation is on Thursday at 3-3:30pm. Please attend if you can!
All volunteers who sign-up for 3 spots* or more are eligible for a badge. Update: Badge request sign-ups have officially closed for the year. All badge confirmations have been sent. Any remaining badges (e.g. no-shows) will be distributed to volunteers in order of priority (i.e. need-based, number of shifts, etc.)
