I went every year between 2014-2019. It was absolutely wild to see how the experience changed even in that time frame. In 2014, it still seemed like - for the most part - a big community gathering. 2015 struck me as kind of a peak year, aside from the stupid giant record badges. Tons of actual learning, actual community. 2016ish, it seemed like there were way more folks hanging around from Black Hat. 2017, it seemed like Def Con started catering to them and it was down hill from there. 2019 was exhausting.
