The 31st Chaos Communication Congress starts today in Hamburg, Germany, and runs for the next four days. This annual conference brings together hackers, makers, researchers, technologists, and more to present and discuss interesting technology-related topics.
Check out the official schedule to see what’s being presented, and watch presentations live or later from recordings (remember the scheduled times are in Hamburg’s timezone).
