    "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...

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...

That's already hectic and stressfull without the congress part, especially if any of the preparatinon for those meetups falls to you.

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

I actually know several people who regularly visit the 3C with their families and children. There are a lot of cool activities for kids from a certain age (10-ish). Even without all the social programm, there are plenty of talks which are interesting to non-IT people.

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

Yeah, would be feasible if tickets wouldn't be so hard to get for externals. Ain't no way my partner would hang out for a year every week with me in a hackerspace

		Yeah, CCC is only accessible for people who are already part of CCC for decades. There are some token newcomers, but overall it is a very closed community.
