Thank you everyone who signed up to volunteer for this year! Our interviews are FULL at this time. :) Hope to see everyone at this years DEF CON!

Message sent!

We run from 7am-4am Friday and Saturday, so the longest shifts end up being 8 hours

I've tried messaging you, but you have DM's turned off. Can you message me? Thanks!

Looks like I can't DM you here. Can you DM me?

The class is remote, but the shifts require you to be on site at DEF CON in Vegas. Sorry!


The DEF CON hotline is an organization that handles calls about code of conduct violations and follows the same structure and teaching as a regional suicide hotline. The reason for such an early volunteer round up, is that we have a training program that will teach you everything you need to know!

Call for DC33 Hotline volunteers!!! A good candidate might simply be that one person all of their friends come to when they need someone to talk to. This will be a full-time con goon position, working a full shift each of the 4 days of con. Please contact me to interview! 🙂 1/2

Beating me to the punch. I see 😆

DEF CON has experienced a network interruption. Hotline is back up using a workaround, we are now working to catch up on existing and new calls/texts/signal/etc. Thanks for your understanding and patience!

If you have a non-US phone number and want to contact the DEF CON Hotline via text, please use signal or discord to message us. We are not able to reply to international SMS due to technical limitations. Incoming voice calls from international numbers will be answered.
