Netwar Con: A Psyops Hackathon
This is an experimental event where you:
Come as an ambassador from whatever part of the culture war you represent
Meet your enemies (and allies)
Design & execute propaganda together
Read about the philosophy here at psyop.report.
Logistics
The venue is Distribution Hall (a giant warehouse) - we'll have basic tables & chairs but not much else (BYO what you need, come & go as needed)
Registration opens 5pm on Friday September 4th. Teams begin forming around 6pm
Sunday 1pm is the official end time (submit / report your psyop)
If you'd like to drop in we recommend coming by Saturday as a drop-in supporter to one of the teams, or Sunday morning to see the final results. Reach out to the organizers to coordinate this.
Participate Remotely
This event is for the IN PERSON psyops experiment. If you'd like to participate remotely, see: https://www.psyop.report/about
Influencer operator manual
Every team will receive a copy of the "influence operations" manual which is a glossary of techniques + standard language to use when documenting your psyop.
A snippet from the influencer operator manual that players will receive with instructions at the event. Based on the Structured Process for Information Campaign Enhancement (SP!CE) 2.2 developed by The MITRE Corporation.
