What is the camp?
Chaos Communication Camp is the Chaos Computer Club’s (CCC) quadrennial hacker meeting and open-air hack party, now in Mildenberg for the third time. Over the course of five days, thousands of hackers, technology enthusiasts, tinkerers, artists and utopians come together on the camp grounds in Brandenburg in the middle of summer to exchange ideas, learn from each other and celebrate together.
The camp offers space for community villages, developer and project group meetings, installations, lightning talks and numerous workshops. We deal with topics around information technology, computer security, hacking, with the make and break scene, the critical-creative use of technology and its impact on our society.
What’s different from 2019?
Here’s a brief overview of the changes from last time that we already know about: Unlike last time, this year’s camp starts as early as Tuesday and ends on Saturday. Sunday can be used for leisurely dismantling and departure. Also for us, unfortunately, the prices have increased in almost all places, which is why we will not be able to avoid an increase in ticket prices. At the moment we can’t give a final price yet, as soon as the calculations allow us to fix the price we will let you know here in the blog. The big lecture tents were used less than expected at the last camps, so we decided to focus more on workshops and community stages this time. Parking on the site will only be possible with a parking ticket this time (will be available on site). To make it easier to get there without a car, we will organize shuttles between the train station and the camp site and from there to nearby shopping facilities.
We will cover most of these topics and all other changes in separate blogposts as soon as we have more details. Stay tuned!
