Greetings Space Entities, 50 days after Easterhegg we warmly invite you to MaiSpace! Over the weekend we'll gather in Potsdam to tinker, discuss, learn and make the world a little better (or at least more interesting).

Whether you're experienced hackers, curious beginners or digital activists – MaiSpace is the place for your input.

🛠 What we're looking for
We're looking for anything that makes the community's heart beat faster. You decide the format:

Talks: 30 to 60 minutes about your passion project, security vulnerabilities, net politics or wild hardware.

Workshops: Hands-on! Soldering, programming, lock picking or crypto parties.

Short Demos & Lightning Talks: You built something cool but don't want to give a whole talk? Bring it!

Other Formats: Do you want to moderate a panel discussion or set up an art installation? We'll find a spot.

🔍 Potential Topics
We're open to almost anything, but here's some inspiration:

Security & Privacy: Exploits, encryption, anonymity.

Hardware & Making: Microcontrollers, 3D printing, vintage computing, audio.

Ethics & Society: Surveillance, AI implications, digital education.

Sustainability: Green IT, repair culture, hardware hacking for the environment.

Chaos Culture: Gaming, lockpicking, colorful lights and everything fun.

Note: MaiSpace is an event that lives on mutual respect. We follow the hacker ethic and want to create a space where everyone feels comfortable.

Note 2: This event is monokel-free
