38c3 - CCH

Venue

The 38th Chaos Communication Congress takes other back in the Congress Center Hamburg, Germany.

More Information about how to get there on the Travel page.

Next to the entrance and three new areas we already knew from last year: Saal X, Saal Y and Saal Z! And on top of that, this new layout also removes so many intermediate stairs (compare it the old layout if you are curious). But let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Venue layouts are available at cch.de or soon at 38c3.c3nav.de

Starting from the top:

Main lecture halls (Level 2-4)

Saal 1 is the main lecture hall in the center of the venue with about 3000 seats, followed by the western
Saal GLITCH with about 1200 seats and the eastern
Saal ZIGZAG with about 900 seats.

These halls host the main conference program curated by the CCC Content Teams, an will be recorded and published to media.ccc.de by our Video Operation Center (c3voc).

Community stages

The stages at Saal Y and Halle H (ground floor) are no longer self-organized, but curated by a newly founded Community Content Team:

Self-organized stages / Workshop rooms (Level 2 + 1)

In CCH West next to Saal GLITCH,

Saal E with theatre-style seating (chairs in rows), approx. 250 seats;

The public Self-organized Sessions (SoS) room booking started on Tuesday, December 17th at 18:30 CET – but Sessions can take place anywhere, simply describe the meeting place in the description (e.g. "the western bar at Halle H"). We will announce more details in an upcoming blog post.
