Summercon

Summercon

Summercon is one of the oldest hacker conventions. It helped set a precedent for more modern "cons" such as H.O.P.E. and DEF CON, although it has remained smaller and more personal, and has been hosted in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Austin, and Amsterdam. Originally run by Phrack, the underground ezine, and held annually in St. Louis, the organizational responsibilities of running summercon were transferred to 'clovis' in 1998 and the convention took place in Atlanta, dubbed 'Summercon X'.
