Day 2 at @DistrictCon Due to weather, the Village of Villages (VoV) is cancelled today. That said, the conference is still on and Village CTFs are continuing! 🧩👾 For those impacted by the weather, DistrictCon sessions are available via streaming. Streaming details have been sent directly to conference attendees via email. Stay safe, and we appreciate everyone rolling with the changes.
