More than just a conference, Wild West Hackin’ Fest (WWHF) is committed to offering high quality information security education to beginners and seasoned professionals alike. With reasonably priced training, conferences, hands-on labs, and workshops, WWHF lowers the barrier to entry for those seeking to enter into the world of information security. WWHF also offers a venue for those already established in the industry to share ideas, give back, and continue learning.
Every WWHF brings technical talks, hands-on workshops and labs, expert-led training, and some occasional mechanical bull riding—along with countless chances to connect with others.

The Exam Lead is responsible for the overall management of the ham radio exams at events.
Village staff handle running the village itself as well as the fox hunt contest table. Duties vary and include providing demos, talking with and answering questions from attendees, and running the fox hunt contest. During your shifts you may be using your own gear, village-owned gear, or gear from another volunteer (with their permission). This is a great chance to showcase what YOU love about ham radio as ambassadors of the hobby!
Volunteer Examiners help run the ham radio license exams. To be a VE, you must hold a General or Amateur Extra class license in the US.
