I haven't been to Def Con in a couple of years. I went the first year they were at the Alexis Park, and it was OK. Went back the next year, and they'd clearly outgrown the venue. Wasn't able to get a seat for ANY of the talks.
I don't know if they've signed some sort of long-term contract, or maybe they've just gotten kicked out of everywhere else, but I'm not going back until they get a considerably larger place.
After talking to one of the Goons at the end of the con, it's a little of both. Nobody else is willing to put up with the shenanigans, and the DefCon crew had signed a multi year deal. Priest had mentioned in one fo the talks that they've "got a solution" for the space issues and that next year there'll be "more seats than people".
