Datenspuren 2026
Datenspuren is the annual hacker meeting of the Chaos Computer Club Dresden (C3D2), a local chapter of the CCC. The 2026 edition is the 23rd. It runs from 18 to 20 September at Zentralwerk in Dresden under the motto "aufbrechen", which means breaking open boxes and systems and setting out into new worlds. Admission is free. The programme has talks, workshops, music and art, and visitors are invited to bring their own contributions. The schedule is grouped into tracks on technology, society, AI, art, meetups, entertainment and Zeitenwende, plus a JungHackende track with activities for children. Sessions cover open-source security in the age of LLMs, IMSI catchers and hardware hacking, reproducible builds, soldering workshops and chat control. The event site lists an online stream via media.ccc.de. Visitors can pay with cash, Bitcoin or GNU Taler, and the event has a code of conduct and an awareness team.
