Come learn why you should play games to get ahead in your career and life. This session will talk about participating in the SAINTCON Hacker's Challenge game, CTFs, wargames, pros vs joes, and other types of skills based games. Suggestions will be provided on where to find games, who to play with, benefits of playing, and ways that you can give back to the community through these games.
