HAM Track

 

For the last two years, we have had a HAM presence at SCALE, and this year, we are taking it a notch higher. Introducing a HAM themed track! Our first speaker is Ben Kuo and he's going to talk about 'How Social Media, The Internet, and Ham Radio Saved The Day After Hurricane Maria In Dominica'. 

We'll also have our special event call sign (N6S) active during the event, and a couple of HAM radio booths as well.

SCALE adds hardware hacking focused Badge Track

Electronic badges are the "in thing" these days and some of the more elegant ones garner a lot of attention. Last Defcon, some of the most sought after badges were the Mr. Robot badge and the Darknet badge. We are happy to announce that the creators of both these badges will be at SCALE presenting their creations, and the process of design. Who knows, we might even get a preview of the next badge!

DC Darknet will also be running a game at SCALE and offer a completely different badge for sale at their booth.
