Indeed if you're in the EU this is well worth coming to Berlin for. It's one of the largest digital politics/culture/practice congresses in the EU.
Some talks number well over a thousand in audience on topics as diverse as bio hacking, RFID hacking, how to evade machine vision systems with creative clothing, neural implants, phone and console jail-breaking, introductions to invented natural languages, cypherpunk and dystopianism [etc]. It is very wise to secure your computer thoroughly before visiting however. The CCC congresses are a site of pilgrimage for some of the world's most rigorous hackers and hacker clans, not all of which wear white hats.. Cheers!
