Got questions?
DEFCON 2026 in Las Vegas concentrates Technology professionals in one place, so your ads reach people already interested in your category instead of a broad, untargeted crowd.
Draw a geofence around Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas and serve display, video, or CTV ads to the phones inside it — the same audience an exhibitor pays for, without the booth, travel, or staff.
Geofenced event campaigns tend to outperform standard display because the audience is already primed for your category. Run ads during the event, then retarget the same attendees afterward.
