In what has become a cherished tradition, the 38C3 content teams want to take the pulse of our community and offer you a deal that’s really hard to refuse: You get an early look at what our teams think are the best talks and presentations that will make for a well-rounded 38C3 Fahrplan, and in return you allow us to identify clusters of talks that we should avoid scheduling at the same time.

All you have to do is 1) click on all the talks you want to see, 2) hit submit and 3) skip step three! We’ll take it from there and let the number crunchers generate a collision map that will magically …

Junghacker:innen-Tag - sei dabei!

Zu unserer Freude haben sich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Junghacker:innen auf dem Congress eingefunden. Daher bieten wir auch diesmal, wie schon in den Vorjahren, einen speziell auf Kinder und Jugendliche zugeschnittenen Junghacker:innentag an. Am zweiten Congresstag, dem 28. Dezember 2024, organisieren Freiwillige aus vielen Assemblies von etwa 10 bis 17 Uhr ein vielseitiges Workshop-Programm für angehende Hacker:innen.

Wer schon immer mal löten, programmieren, einen 3D-Drucker ausprobieren, …

tl;dr: Register your assembly now at https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/backoffice/, but no later than Sunday, 24 November, 23:42 (CET).

Hacking and shaping the world together seems more important than ever in light of current developments. Show us how you do it in your Chaostreffs, Hackerspaces or in your basement at home. Get stuck in together in Hamburg! Develop projects, form networks, connect, prepare sessions and workshops … Use light and colour for wonderfully glittering sand in the gears of so-called normality.

Do you just need a few tables to hack on? Or would your assembly like …

tl;dr: The annual Chaos Communication Congress, taking place on 27–30 Dec 2024 at the CCH in Hamburg is looking for workshops, installations, performances, music and artists!

Congress centers and exhibition halls tend to be rather boring and dull spaces. That’s why we are looking for you to bring color, art and culture to the convention. We hereby call on you to participate artistically in the design. There is a lot of space in the congress center and we are counting on you to design it artistically!

Do you have ideas for installations, performances, workshops or other art forms that you …

Es wird eine Einführungsveranstaltung und ein Programm für Auszubildende geben.

Das Programm des Congresses beschränkt sich nicht auf IT-Thematik, sondern beinhaltet auch Beiträge zu Kunst, Kultur und Gesellschaft, sodass der Congress auch für Azubis außerhalb der klassischen …

Good news: Once again we were able to convince some nearby schools to let us use their gymnasiums as sleeping spaces. Tickets will cost 5 € per night. They will be sold at the cashdesk from day 0 until day 4, starting at 18:00. Each evening, tickets will be sold for the current night only.

We have reserved a special allocation for angels who have worked some shifts. Gymnasium tickets for angels will be available at Heaven at all times and for more than just the current day.

Showers and toilets will be available on site, you need to bring your own camping mat and sleeping bag.

Please note: …

For the three major stages at 38C3, the Call for Participation has just concluded. Many great talks have been submitted and the content team is already reviewing them.

As every year, we have had to consider how to curate the other two stages. We found a solution: habitats located around these stages will curate a program together. A team of volunteers has quickly formed to brainstorm tracks, adding their own unique focuses and accents.

The Community Content Team is now looking forward to your contributions – the full call can be found here. Please note that speakers in this part of the …

We’re happy to finally announce the presale for this year’s Chaos Communication Congress. It will work slightly differently than last year:

Just like in the past, our presale aims to make sure that both the active core of our community and newcomers can join and shape 38C3. By “active core”, we mean the volunteers/angels who are dedicating their time to make Congress possible and awesome, as well as the many local and regional groups of the Chaos community who each contribute their own perspectives and interests to Congress.

This year, we’re returning to our system of replicating …

For the 38C3 there will once again be info pages where we summarize all important information on the upcoming congress.

You can find the info pages here: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/. They reflect what is currently known about 38C3 and are the recommended starting point to find all relevant information or to refresh some specific details. At the moment, there still are a lot of TODOs. We will fill the gaps over the next weeks.

You can also find an overview page with all important links.

We will announce important news and additions to the info pages here in the blog. We therefore …
