The CCC calls for participation and your submissions!

34C3 – 34th Chaos Communication Congress
December 27th through 30th 2017, Leipziger Exhibition Grounds in Leipzig.

The Event

The Chaos Communication Congress is the Chaos Computer Club’s (CCC) annual symposium and hacker party. During four days between Christmas and New Years Eve, thousands of hackers, technology freaks, artists, and utopians get together in Leipzig to communicate, learn from each other, and party together. We focus on topics such as information technology, networks, digital security, making, and breaking. We engage in …

Finally, we can present you a preliminary schedule for this year’s MRMCD! We are happy to see the wide range and diversity of the topics covered in the submitted talks and workshops. You can find the schedule here: https://cfp.mrmcd.net/2017/schedule/.

Please be patient with us: Our schedule still is a young plant that needs to grow. Not all speakers have already confirmed their appearance yet and some talks will still shift their exact times.

If you did not do so already, you can buy one of the very last tickets in our ticket shop. We assume that the presale will be sold out very soon. There …

It’s that time of the year again – we’re opening the presale for this year’s Chaos Communication Congress!

Again, there will be two phases, with the first one starting today.
During the first phase, we’d like to invite the core of our community to participate in the presale.
It will end as soon as no more tickets are left in the pool for this phase, but by 2017-10-15 at the latest.

During the second phase we’ll open the presale to everybody on a number of pre-announced time slots. We’ll announce these open presale dates at least two weeks ahead of time on this site.

We’ll offer all tickets for …

Calling upon all shrubbery connoisseurs!

The Call for Participation for our humble little data exhibition is nearly over. You have only three days left to kickstart your career in data gardening by submitting a talk or workshop.

Our focus lies on private and public data this year: How do you protect private data – and from whom? How do you use public data? To what purposes? – But apart from that, we’re also interested in our usual topics, such as IT security, open source software, embedded systems, networks, anonymity and whatever really cool projects you’re currently working on.

If you’re not …

The MetaRheinMainChaosDays (MRMCD) are proud to announce that they will host the first Bundesdatenschau (federate data show) on September 1st to 3rd – we’re looking forward to all kinds of data accompanied by their owners! We are looking for talks und workshops taking an in-depth look at the usage of public data and the protection of private data. We’re asking: How are public data resources (ab)used? Where and how has data been made public that shouldn’t have been? Who’s grabbing private data, and …

The 34th iteration of the annual Chaos Communication Congress (34C3) will again take place in December, but at a new location: the congress and convention center in Leipzig. Congress had to find a new home because its former venue, the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH), will be undergoing a general makeover. The new venue in Leipzig will provide participants much more space to tinker with.

The CCH was home to the Congress since 2012. Over the years, we developed a strong friendship with the team on site, so we’re sad we have to leave.

Finding a new location was not easy. The large number of …
