Each summer the Electronic Frontier Foundation joins tens of thousands of computer security professionals, academic researchers, tech tinkerers, and curious onlookers at a series of bleeding-edge hacker conferences in Las Vegas. EFF has been a proud supporter of these communities since our founding twenty-five years ago, and we make a concerted effort to ensure that con-goers know that there is an active movement to protect digital freedom around the world. We renewed this commitment during the 2008 summer hacker events by launching the Coders' Rights Project to help programmers and developers navigate the murky laws* surrounding security research.

Below, you'll find a listing of talks and activities with EFF attorneys, technologists, and activists this week. You can refer to this post for quick reference at eff.org/LasVegas2015. If you are heading to any of these conferences please stop by the EFF booth to say hello, learn more about recent projects, or tell us what you think about our work. It's also a great opportunity to renew your EFF membership  and pick up the newest member swag! We hope to see you soon in your summer mohawk.
