Welcome to DistrictCon! We are operating with a one-hour delay due to the neighborhood-wide power outage (did someone say manhole fire 👀 www.fox5dc.com/news/smoke-p...) but otherwise ready to roll! We never panic at the DisCo. 😏

If you've ever interacted with a Village at a cyber con, you know they are the lifeblood of the cybersecurity community. But they do *so much more* - they're cyber superpowers. So proud of @districtcon.bsky.social, CSI, and our Village partners for this amazing report. www.districtcon.org/vov
