We are the Haecksen, a group of over 1,000 FLINTA (FLINTA: women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, agender) individuals interested in technology.

Our goal is to anchor intersectional queerfeminist – and thus socially relevant – viewpoints in the hacker scene. We strive for a society in which these views are taken for granted. We recognise both opportunities and risks in our technology-driven society. Through our activities, we focus primarily on the positive aspects and contribute to their implementation. For these reasons, our work also targets society at large; we aspire to shape the public sphere. In doing so, we want to make technology accessible to all people – regardless of the barriers that society puts in their way. In doing so, we demand of ourselves to be accessible as a group and to support each other through networking and knowledge transfer. What we want to know counts more than what we don't know.

Our assembly is the meeting place for approximately 200 Haecksen and all interested individuals at the Congress. We also organise workshops for everyone in the neighbouring Stonewall IO workshop room.
