Each year we call on you: Come, gather, build, hack and be great! This time we are returning to our home for the 29th to 33rd Congresses: the Congress Center Hamburg. That means a little less indoor camping and more of a “hack center” feeling.

The huge exhibition halls in Leipzig gave your …

Haven’t you ever thought about becoming a 37C3 content ambassador?

When in 2019 we reached out to you with our first round of “have your say” for suggestions on how to make our congress Fahrplan the best ever, we received an overwhelming 2000 submissions ranging from exciting developments in hardware security, net politics to helpful remarks on how to better synchronize breaks between presentations.

So we want to repeat that experiment and ask you again:

We’re preparing for the 37C3 presale, which will work slightly differently than in the past:

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. Since our events are run entirely by volunteers, this first and foremost includes our angels (volunteers) who dedicate their free time and effort to make the event possible in the first place. It also encompasses all the hackspaces and activist groups who contribute to the Chaos community both during 37C3 and throughout the year.

At the same time, …

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.

What might be possible would not be a Congress

Perhaps an event would be …

Over the past few weeks, we have carefully evaluated the possibilities for a Chaos Communication Congress 2021 in Leipzig. In a joint discussion of the many different teams involved in the organization, we have determined: The necessary protective measures and restrictions would distort the spirit of the event beyond recognition.
