Thank you so much for another incredible year!!
We cannot thank all the villages, volunteers, speakers, and of course the community enough for this memorable weekend!

Don’t miss out on tonight’s Hacker Swan Party! Dress comfortably fancy and join us at the hotel bar starting at 10:30 PM EST. It's optional, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect excuse to wear that one elegant outfit you never get to use! #HackerSwan #CkC2026

Think you know weird hacker facts? Come out and prove it at Hacker Trivia later tonight! Come ready to learn, ready to play, and ready to have fun! #HackerTrivia #CkC2026

Good morning! Grab a cup and join the Crypto & Coffee meetup in the Upper Courtyard. Come chat, learn, buy, sell, or just hang out!

Looking for a fun way to wrap up your first night at cackalackycon?
Starting at 10:35 PM tonight, we’re opening the main talk room for karaoke.
Come hang out, sing something loud, cheer people on, and unwind after a full day of learning and community. #CkC2026

North Carolina state law requires distributing any alcohol in the conference and public spaces to be served from the bar. Our staff and volunteers will be issuing reminders.
Please keep this in mind and consider getting a hotel room if there's something specific you want to drink.
