Held in the crypto café Paralelni Polis in Prague, the renowned event which will start on October 2, will host a range of speakers including Monero project lead Spagni, Trezor founder Alena Vranova, and writer Douglas Rushkoff.  This year’s gathering will delve into privacy and will focus mostly on how to safeguard the data against databases and drones as well as hostile AI in the age of digital space. For those that are unable to make it to Prague, the event will be broadcast over the cyberspace via the Hackers Congress new webcast service. Event organizer Pavol Luptak said:

“We’re delighted to be able to launch HCPP TV and deliver HCPP’s unique content and thoughtful insights to our community of cypherpunks and activists around the globe. The previous six congresses have sold out months in advance. The current global situation provides us with the opportunity to open the congress to new audiences that might not otherwise have been able to make it to Prague.”
