Queercon 2026

This year, we return to hacker summer camp in Las Vegas with a revived round of events! From our Community Lounge and traditional mixers at DEF CON 34, as well as a few possible pop-ups throughout the week, we look forward to seeing everyone again!

We're also coming in this year with plans for an electronic badge and swag, although the details are yet to be revealed 😉

You can reserve access to badges and swag through this Event Page. Your ticket, managed through GiveButter's platform here, entitles you an opportunity to pick up your held items in the Queercon Community Lounge at the Las Vegas Convention Center during DEF CON 34. For details and hours, refer to queercon.org or check out HackerTracker.

Note that all held items will be released for general distribution if they are not picked up by 1600 PDT, the start of our Saturday Mixer!

For more information, visit queercon.org. For questions, reach out to info@queercon.org.
