THOTCON


THOTCON is an American hacker conference that is organized by Nicholas J. Percoco, Matt Jakubowski, Jonathan Tomek, John Mocuta, David "VideoMan" Bryan, and several other OPERs. It is held in Chicago, Illinois United States at a somewhat different Top Secret location each year.
The conference was historically held on a single day, but since 2015, it has grown in popularity, and now covers two days. Originally, the conference featured a single track of speakers presenting between ten and twelve talks on various information security and hacking topics. Currently, the conference offers multiple tracks including full-length talks, shorter 'TURBO' talks, longer workshops, and villages.
The name THOTCON is made of the first letter in the words that represent the main Chicago Area Code ; as in THree-One-Two.
