The 33C3 content committee is proud to announce a lecture selection that ‚works for us‘. Our five hard-working 33C3 track teams have hand-picked a set of around 150 excellent lectures to be formed into the best four day, six track programme possible.

Having to select talks from an impressive lot of more than 500 submissions was a hard and sometimes frustrating task. But we have been amazed by the overwhelming interest in volunteering to present at 33C3. We’re thrilled to see that support and enthusiasm to contribute to this year’s event is as high as it ever been. Some speakers even refuse to …

It is that time of the year again – 33C3 is approaching and the Chaosmentors are getting ready to support new visitors during their first Congress experience.

For those who visit the Congress for the first time:

You always wanted to visit Chaos Communication Congress but worry about getting the best out of the experience? You are interested in computers, technology, hacking, privacy, free speech and perhaps just need pointing in the right direction?

We are the „Chaospatinnen“ (chaos mentors) and we welcome you to the Chaos Communication Congress. We encourage you to participate in 33C3 this …

The Chaos Communication Congress lives off your participation and engagement. It is an event for the community by the community. In the long and colorful tradition of utter chaos, we foster decentralization and self-organization. In an attempt to offer some orientation and coordination, we keep a wiki.

The wiki works for you (and everyone else, we hope!) to find information about congress, but its main purpose is enabling you to contribute and make congress work for everyone.

The 33c3 Wiki is now online, you can enter Assemblies and share useful information.
(Registration for self-organized …

Before we open the registration for Assemblies in the wiki, we want to let you know about some conceptual changes: Since 29C3 we’ve tried our very best to leave no Assembly behind and reserved space for (nearly) every group that applied. You all know the result: Each Assembly got less and less space each year for doing the things they’ve planned to do – even if that was just to hang out together. This year this is going to change. We will not allocate space for each individual Assembly, but rather allocate enough space for the ones actively adding value to our community on site – be it for …

Reminder: The first round of open ticket presale will start on next Monday (2016-07-11 20:00 Uhr, UTC+01, Europe/Berlin).

The ticket shop is available at https://tickets.events.ccc.de, most of the questions are answered in the FAQ.

Are you able to speak English (and ideally also German) fluently in front of a large crowd?
You have a ticket or you are sure to get one? (This year we can not help you to get one if you are to late)
Be prepared – for the time being, you might be the face of the Congress!

We are in the process of building our team of Heralds in preparation for 33C3. We will use a similar process like last year. Before the …

The ticket contingents of the first phase of our presale are by now exhausted. Only some vouchers (such as the ones sent to angels) can be redeemed from now on.

The second phase – the open presale without vouchers – will start in a staggered manner on three days:

• 2016-11-07 20:00 (Mo)
• 2016-11-19 15:00 (Sa)
• 2016-11-25 10:00 (Fr)

(All times are in UTC+01:00, Europe/Berlin, CET)

If you have any further questions about the presale, please have a look at our FAQ at https://tickets.events.ccc.de/content/faq_en.html or contact us at 33c3-tickets@cccv.de.

Auch dieses Jahr ist der Chaos Communication Congress als Bildungsveranstaltung in einigen Bundesländer anerkannt worden. Somit sind Congress-Teilnehmer in der Lage Bildungsurlaub zu beantragen und müssen nicht ihren normalen Erholungsurlaub dafür verwenden.

Auf dieser Karte ist der aktuelle Stand der Anerkennungen sichtbar.

The presale for this year’s congress is organized in two phases. The first phase has started on Monday afternoon.

During the first phase we invite the active core of our community to participate in the ticket sale. In the second phase we will (just as in the years before) sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.

Phase 1: During this phase, we want to make sure that those who made last year’s congress possible can again contribute to 33C3. In the past days, we sent voucher codes to a number of groups. These vouchers enable recipients to participate in the first phase:

• Group vouchers: …
