HoHoCon

HoHoCon (or XmasCon) was a conference series which took place before or after Christmas in Houston, Texas, sponsored by Drunkfux and the hacker ezine CULT OF THE DEAD COW. The fourth and fifth HoHoCons were also sponsored by Phrack magazine and took place in Austin, Texas.

HoHoCon is usually credited as being the first "modern" hacker con. It inspired later conventions such as DEF CON and H.O.P.E.

All together, there were five conferences.
