The Critical Decentralisation Cluster (CDC) is a group of likeminded assemblies working together to present projects, talks and workshops that critically discuss the future of decentralisation. You can visit us during Dec 27-30 2024 in Hamburg (Germany) at the 38th Chaos Communication Congress.

We are part of the Community Content Team of 38C3 and helped putting together the Community Stages program. We are also hosting our own talks and workshops:
