Just like in previous years, we want to make sure that the active heart of our community – the people who shape Congress – can make 37C3 awesome again.

It also encompasses all the hackspaces and activist groups who contribute to the Chaos community both during 37C3 and throughout the year.

The CCC sees no other option than to cancel the Chaos Communication Congress again this year. Instead, we call on local groups for decentralized and independent alternative events. The Chaos Communication Camp will take place in Mildenberg near Berlin, Germany from August 15 to 19, 2023.

None of us know what the pandemic situation will be in December – but it is foreseeable that strict hygiene requirements will be necessary and in all likelihood mandatory – if an event of the size of the Congress can be approved at all.

The Chaos Communication Congress has taken a break for known reasons. We are now planning to return to Hamburg’s CCH for the 37th Chaos Communication Congress.
