DEFCON was held in two connected casinos, Bally’s and Paris. As I was walking to my room I passed a screen that announced what was going on in the casino. I noticed that they had gotten our name wrong. They had the activities listed of the Association of Professional Piercers. I figured that most attendees were paid, thus professional. They penetrated security to do their hacking, thus they were piercing. After a few days I realized that this was another conference going on side by side with DEFCON.
I Googled it and it is real. The APP is just what it says it is. They were having their 21st annual conference. They are almost as old as DEFCON and from the looks of some of the geeks they could be attending both conferences.
If you are at a meeting and a bit bored you might read up on the APP. Expand your world. I will put it at the bottom of my bucket list.
