Hey everybody, my name is Steve Lozinski and I am the board chairman for the Aerospace Village and I am proud on behalf of all of our volunteers from around the world to welcome you to the Aerospace Village at DEF CON 31.

00:25.500 --> 00:32.740
Our volunteers come together from all walks of life, young, old, experienced, inexperienced.

00:32.740 --> 00:46.320
We've got students, we've got security researchers, pilots from the military, current civil aviation pilots, you name it, they are a part of this group of volunteers who give their time to support the Aerospace Village.

00:46.320 --> 00:50.420
Our mission, very simple, is build, inspire, promote.

00:50.420 --> 00:59.020
Our goal is to build relationships between government, industry and security researchers, the hackers you're going to see at DEF CON.

00:59.020 --> 01:13.380
We want those folks to come together because they're all working towards the same goal and have the conversation about ensuring the safety and security of aviation and space systems because that's what we rely on in our daily lives.

01:13.380 --> 01:18.200
Another part of our mission is inspiring the next generation of cybersecurity leaders.

01:18.200 --> 01:20.160
We want folks to come in and learn.

01:20.160 --> 01:26.580
We want them to get hands-on with this expensive equipment and learn from the experts that we're able to bring together.

01:26.680 --> 01:30.440
And ultimately, it's to promote all the great work that's going on out there.

01:30.780 --> 01:41.320
The researchers behind the scenes, the folks that are keeping these systems secure, we want people to know what's going on so they can continue to trust these very critical systems.

01:41.440 --> 01:44.120
We do a lot of work with DEF CON, of course.

01:44.120 --> 01:45.260
That's our premier event.

01:45.260 --> 01:46.280
We're happy to come in.

01:46.280 --> 01:49.140
This is our fifth anniversary of supporting DEF CON.

01:49.140 --> 01:55.260
But we also do work with other events, business events like RSA, associations like AIAA.

01:55.320 --> 01:57.880
We also support other hacker conferences.

01:57.880 --> 02:03.960
We like to get out there and be able to expose our audience to the different facets of what we bring to them.

02:03.960 --> 02:08.480
At DEF CON, please come by and join us in the Aerospace Village.

02:08.480 --> 02:13.860
And what you're going to see is a variety of activities and demonstrations and speakers.

02:13.860 --> 02:18.780
The activities are going to range from a crawl, walk, run approach that we take.

02:18.780 --> 02:22.660
So if you've never done anything technical before, we want you to come in.

02:22.660 --> 02:24.500
We want you to get hands-on and learn about them.

02:24.500 --> 02:29.500
If you're advanced and you know how to do all this stuff, even better because we have that for you too.

02:29.500 --> 02:34.320
We have partners that we're bringing in from United Airlines, from Alaskan Airlines.

02:34.320 --> 02:47.400
We're also bringing in Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Pentest partners to have all of that hands-on content, the activities and demonstrations that we like to bring to our audience each year.

02:47.440 --> 02:59.860
And also along with that, we have speakers, a variety of speakers from different technical topics, all the way to the Office of the National Cyber Director folks talking about policy side of things that you may want to focus on.

02:59.900 --> 03:04.360
And then other speakers like the TSA Administrator is coming in to talk with us.

03:04.360 --> 03:06.580
So again, we invite you to come join us.

03:06.580 --> 03:08.560
We've got a ton of activities.

03:08.560 --> 03:10.060
It's our fifth anniversary.

03:10.060 --> 03:13.100
So we're very excited to be back at DEF CON.
