How do I check in?

Once you arrive at Funkhaus, you need to check-in at the registration desk at the main entrance. Once you’re registered and have received your hacker wristband, follow the signs from the main entrance to the Kultursaal area. We will welcome you at the Hackathon Info Point.

Which areas are accessible?

You can use your hacker wristband to attend the conference and talks, but don't forget about the hackathon! Ensure you've signed up using the form here.

Food and drinks

The Blockspäti - Food and drinks free of charge 

The Blockspäti blends hacker culture with Berlin street vibes. Inspired by the city's numerous 24-hour shops, the Blockspäti pop-up will provide tasty free food and drinks to all hackers.

Facilities/amenities in the area

The restaurant options in Funkhaus will be available during their opening hours, but you will have to pay. 

24/7 Hacking, sleeping and accommodation

• There will be designated sleeping areas available.

  
  

• A limited number of tents will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's advisable to bring your own sleeping gear.

  
  

• If you bring a tent, ensure it doesn't require being bolted to the ground, as these are not permitted.

Showers

For a true camping experience, we’ve set up a pop-up shower outside, next to the Spree. Don’t forget to bring your towel and toiletries! We’ll also have hacker kits on-site with some essentials.

The Blockspace Etiquette - code of conduct

• The Blockspace is a safe environment where discriminatory or abusive behavior is strictly prohibited. There is a zero-tolerance policy for any disrespectful actions towards others. WebZero reserves the right to revoke access for any participant who behaves inappropriately.

  
  

• Please treat staff, mentors, and fellow participants with the same respect you wish to receive.

  
  

• Alcohol consumption: If you do drink, please do so in moderation. The Blockspati reserves the right to refuse serving alcohol to anyone.

  
  

• Smoking is prohibited inside the Funkhaus building; please go outside to smoke.

  
  

• We recommend eating outside or in the chill area, not in the Kultursaal. Take breaks from your screen to walk and have a snack, touch grass.

  
  

• While there are some light physical security measures in place, please take care of your belongings. Do not leave bags or laptops unattended, as you are responsible for your own equipment.

  
  

• You are welcome to bring your own accessories and screens to the hackathon. The organizers will provide at least one power outlet per participant. If you need additional outlets, consider bringing your own power strip. Remember to share space and tables considerately.
