HOBOCON 2 was one hell of a ride. 🚆 68 hackers traveled from Kansas City to Chicago for 12 talks, 3 villages, a CTF, RFID implants, and just the right amount of chaos. Want aboard for HOBOCON 3? Fill out the interest form at hobocon.com! #HOBOCON #InfoSec

We’re doing this again. hobocon 3 is coming. hobocon 2 put 68 hackers, makers, radio nerds, and assorted weirdos in one train car. For hobocon 3, we’re planning at least twice the nonsense: two train cars and 136 people. Interest form: hobocon.com

The train just got a new tag. Big thanks to SecDSM for jumping in as a hobocon sponsor. It always means something when hacker communities support other hacker communities, and this helps us make @hobocon.bsky.social even more ridiculous in the best possible way. #hobocon #infosec #badgelife

Welcome @hamradiovillage.bsky.social , @defcon.bsky.social's own, as a @hobocon.bsky.social Community Sponsor. They’re bringing the real hacker energy. We might try contacting South America using a toilet as an antenna. No promises. Only shenanigans.

For now it’s US based, but international routes are absolutely on the long-term radar. hobocon is still very much in its early days. If it grows the way we hope, hosting hobocon in other countries would be an amazing future step.
