If you have inquiries or questions, feel free to contact 24c3-press (at) cccv.de.

Press Office

There will be a press office at the Congress where members of the press can work, do interviews and find people from the CCC press team. It is located in room C04.

Guidelines

The Chaos Communication Congress is a event for hackers, nerds and other beings with a creative and critical view of live. The participants expect the press people to show a certain degree of non-intrusive behavior, especially regarding the right not to be filmed or photographed. Some participants neither want to be filmed, photographed or interviewed. Journalists are kindly asked to respect the spirit of the event and the requirements of the participants.

Privacy

Filming and taking photographs is generally possible. Visual recordings of lectures are permitted. In any case, no visual recordings of the audience are permitted.

The participants of the Chaos Communication Congress insist on their right to their own image. Therefore even when events are recorded no pictures of participants may be taken unless explicit permission is granted.

Free entry

Please register at 24c3-press (at) cccv.de before December, 20th to get free entry. Registration will not be possible after that date and you will have to pay for a usual day pass. In your message please tell us which media entity you are working for and the day you wish to come.

Press ID cards

Every member of the press is obliged to carry a card with the word "PRESS" on it, clearly visible. The IDs will be issued at the entrance.

TV, Photo, Video

Participants decide by themselves if they want to speak to journalists or not and if they want to be photographed or filmed in any way. Please respect this right all the times.

With the exception of the no-camera zone, cameras are allowed at the Congress. If you use your photography equipment within the no-camera zone you will be banned from the Congress area.

Same rules apply to audio.
