Wonderful to see an antidote or utopian counter-example to the extremely right wing misogynism of DefCon.

If you live in Germany and would like to experience this on a smaller scale THIS WEEKEND, come to the CCC conference in Dresden, called Datenspuren, run by our local CCC Erfa-Kreis C3D2. It takes place from 18.09 - 20.09 in Zentralwerk Dresden. Entry is completely free of charge, with a donation being appreciated.

It is a beautiful and inclusive environment that highlights not only a lot local hackers, but also a lot of artists.

I was there last year and it was amazing! I totally recommend it.

You can find more info about the event and the featured talks and events here:

    "27 to 30 December 2026"
I have always wanted to attend CCC in person, but these dates for the main conference only work if you are 20 and single...

Its the perfect date for people who see all of their "real" family once per year, at CCC. Lots of couples attending obv.

21th/24th -> celebrating with family the winter solstice 25th -> visiting the extended family 26th -> visiting friends

27-30th -> congress \o/

31th -> celebrating a new year either close to the congress or with family again

Works very well for very long time. Plenty of families with kids on the congress too and you always have holidays at that time.

Im not single and i'm not 20...

A lot of people spend more than 1 or 2 days visiting family during Christmas time, and travel long distances to do so.

Perhaps and thats wonderful for these people but stating that only 20 and single can go to the congress is as generic as my response.

The congress was always booked out, its not that the congress has any attendance issues and its not that OP never had the chance to visit and never will have the chance to visit when his/her kids get older.

Btw. i travel too to my family

In the past it was "The Usual Suspects", now it is "Model Citizens". Back then smoking indoors at conferences was a topic hackers would discuss. Now I'm sure it will be a very serious conference full of grown-ups.

Will not be able to attend this year :'-) Have to ask friends to get me a "Model Citizen" shirt!
