Finally, they fixed the sign, and it properly reads CCC now:

See previous Post: Day 0

The Chaos Communication Congress generally has some continuous mottos, like...:

Be excellent to each other
All creatures welcome

...as well as a special one for each year. This year's is:

Works For Me!

This typical attitude of developers can also be seen in general in society and should be overcome.

That motto was, among other things, presented earlier at the start of the day in the opening ceremony. The giant hall was jam-packed at 11 a.m. already.

Shortly thereafter, Hall 2, only slightly smaller, was also slowly but steadily filling up before the next talk would start there.

The complete program for the 4 days can be found here:
All talks are streamed here: http://streaming.media.ccc.de/
Recordings will eventually end up here: https://media.ccc.de/c/33c3 (and on youtube).

And that's not even all. Countless workshops and self-organized sessions go along: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Static:Self-organized_Sessions

Plus, lots of projects presented and exhibited: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Static:Projects

These are usually set up by so-called assemblies: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Static:Assemblies

It's 12:33 noon time but all the welcome creatures do not tell day from night:

All the while the talks go on, like the EFF's own predictions about the future of encryption:

Speaking about privacy, we even think of the children! No really! How about a talk about a book that will soon be published that aims to teach these concepts to children in a playful way.

Yet, still plenty of opportunity to chill, even for those who'd prefer a more traditional post-christmas atmosphere:

The Bitcoin community is, naturally, also present with an assembly:

By late afternoon, the lounge + bar + disco area (finally) also opened where you can hang out, drink and dance for 4 days 24/7:
