No one here is gonna tell you to go to black hat just because defcon is the cooler thing to say, but idk why you would go to any "hacker cons" anyway. If you're going for the content, simply view the presentations once they're posted on the internet and save yourself a lot of money.

+ ur going to have to witness the "hacking community" irl which isn't a pretty sight to see IMO.

I won't say Defcon is the best, although I probably would not recommend Black Hat to most people.
