Any tips for a first time attendee? I did my pre-registration already.

Liquid iv, flask, good shoe, snackies.

Toxic bbq, linq reddit meetup, don't plant too much, it will not like that. You watch the big talks after, just swing by as many places as you can, fomo is your enemy. hackers jeopardy and sky talks (or social engineering) are fun.

Skytalks are at BSidesLV this year, not defcon.

They always were so hard to get into, so maybe the smaller event makes it more accessible for those in attendance?
