The National Service Panel (NSP) at DEF CON serves as a fresh and interactive way to share insights about actionable opportunities and challenges associated with national service, focusing on mostly tech-related opportunities across the government. Since this panel is about sharing knowledge and expertise, it supports both the DEF CON founder's intent and the MCPA mission.
2020 was the first year of the DEF CON "Career Hacking Village", and MCPA being asked to lead a panel. The NSP was then born! In 2021, we came back for the 2nd year in a row with a new lineup of panelists. In 2022, we've partnered with the "Blacks in Cybersecurity Village" to bring you the 3rd annual NSP, and then the 4th in 2023 and now 5th! The panels stream during DEF CON.
