Support Recon Village
Help us keep the OSINT community thriving
Recon Village started as a small gathering of OSINT enthusiasts at DEF CON. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most vibrant communities at the conference - a place where researchers, professionals, and curious minds come together to share knowledge, learn from each other, and push the boundaries of open-source intelligence.
We've always been community-driven. Every talk, every workshop, every contest is organized by volunteers who believe in making knowledge accessible. We don't charge attendees. We don't gatekeep information. We believe that when people share freely, everyone grows.
But running a village takes resources - badges, infrastructure, equipment, and countless hours of work. That's where sponsors come in. Your support helps us keep Recon Village free and open for everyone.
What Your Support Enables
A Global Platform for Researchers
We provide a stage for researchers from around the world to present their work to thousands. Many breakthroughs in OSINT methodology were first shared at Recon Village. Your support helps us continue being the place where important research finds its audience.
Shaping the Future of Intelligence
Open-source intelligence is transforming how the world understands threats, verifies information, and holds power accountable. We're building a community that defines best practices, develops new tools, and trains the next generation of practitioners.
Building Something That Lasts
We're not just running an annual event - we're building a lasting institution for the OSINT community. Our talks are watched year-round, our tools are used globally, and our alumni go on to lead intelligence teams at major organizations. Your support helps us think bigger.
“We're not looking for the biggest check. We're looking for partners who believe in what we're building - an open, inclusive space where knowledge flows freely. If that resonates with you, we'd love to talk.”
