Lodging and accommodations
Before the event
Consider using the buddy system. Physical attackers are more likely to target individuals traveling alone to conferences and satellite events.
Update any computers, tablets, or mobile devices you may be bringing with you prior to the event.

At the event
Turn off all unneeded network communications including Bluetooth, WiFi (in certain areas), and the MacOSX/iOS Airdrop file sharing utility.
Avoid giving out your phone number to strangers. If attackers have your number, they can target you in a SIM swap, port your number to their phone, and drain financial accounts that rely on that number for two-factor authentication.
Do not share any pictures of a location on social media while you are still in that location. It's better to post pictures after you have left the location, or sometime thereafter.
Be conscious of what you disclose about yourself at crypto events.
Be aware of those in attendance at afterparties, bars, and shared party locations.

Final thoughts
While most attendees should feel safe and not be targeted, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
