Want to know one of the best parts of going to an in-person conference like ours?
You get to make plans for what to do and who to hang out with after the conference ends. Make some plans with other folks this weekend, we love hearing about everything that comes from this conference.

We're accepting donations of old laptops, network switches, and USB to Ethernet adapters for the CTF room. You can send and email, message us on Discord, or just drop it off at the conference. We're forward to getting more new folks involved in their first CTF this year!

We have some custom printed LoRa radios that you can use with meshtastic that we'll be raffling Friday, May 16 the first night of the conference.

If you don't understand what that is then come see Foemat & Hax4Coffee "LoRa of the Rings: Fellowship of the Mesh" on Saturday afternoon.

Today is #EarthDay and we're celebrating by #hacking the planet!
Here's our #EarthActionDay list.
No paper programs, it's online.
Swap table for books, tech, shirts, and other stuff.
Our hardware hacking village teaches skills for repair instead of replacing.
Bring a water bottle, we have stickers.

Cackalacky Con takes place during a waxing gibbous this year. It’s a very fortuitous time to give a presentation, as the moon gets bigger, so does the amplification of your work and reach. The perfect time to finish a task before entering a fresh phase of your career.
