Crypto developers have become a prime target for a highly effective social engineering technique: the fake job interview.

code.talks 2026 is a two-day conference for developer teams and CTOs in Hamburg. For both days it takes over Kinopolis in HafenCity and runs its talks in the cinema halls. alphalist GmbH organises the event and expects 3,500 attendees. The programme has more than 100 sessions across 14 curated tracks. Among them are GenAI and LLMs, architecture, cloud, security, frontend, product, data and craft. Each track has a lead curator, and a team of curators chooses what makes the stage. Talks come from invited speakers and from a call for papers that ran in three waves. Partners can present content too, but it has to pass the same curators. The organiser says about 90 percent of the content is independent of sponsors. The stated aim is to help attendees look beyond their own specialty and learn what is happening in other fields. One ticket covers both days, including sessions, masterclasses, meals and the party.

LSZ takes its CIO Kongress west for two days at the Löwen Hotel Montafon, under the 2027 motto "CO-INTELLIGENCE — Mensch. Maschine. Momentum." The billing is deliberately regional: IT and digitalisation leaders from western Austria and the Bodensee region — CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, CEOs and security leads — in a setting the organisers describe as a strategic change of scene rather than another event. LSZ advertises 20+ workshops and 30+ speakers working through the split between legacy estates, cyber-resilience and agentic AI, alongside digital sovereignty and the leadership of hybrid human-and-agent teams, with real case studies instead of glossy slides. Tickets are EUR 999.
