Anyone who ever experienced the distinct feeling of „wow!“ on the first Congress knows: There’s an outside world and then there’s Congress. Even though the event copes with challenges that come with growth, we think we’ve built a space that promotes tolerance, curiosity, fun, open-minded communication, friendliness and cooperation. Unlike traditional conferences, where visitors receive full service for paying an entrance fee, CCC events are run by volunteers. The whole event is organized by people who buy their own tickets and spend their holidays to make it happen. This means that everybody attending our events shares the responsibility to keep the event safe, secure, and enjoyable to all.
## All creatures welcome
> *"Der Chaos Computer Club ist eine galaktische Gemeinschaft von Lebewesen, unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht und Abstammung sowie gesellschaftlicher Stellung…"*
**Präambel der [Satzung des CCC](https://www.ccc.de/en/satzung#pre)**
The Chaos Computer Club is, both by its chapter and common consent, a galactic organization that welcomes all lifeforms. As such, we are dedicated to providing a safe, secure and enjoyable experience for everybody attending our events, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, origin, or physical appearance. Lifeforms who refuse to share this openness towards others are not welcome at our events.
## Be excellent to each other
> *Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.*
**Fourth tenet of the [hacker ethics](https://www.ccc.de/de/hackerethik) since 1984**
We are unwilling to tolerate any sexism, [racism](https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2005/unvereinbarkeitserklaerung), discrimination or harassment at our events. If you witness any such behavor at any of the CCC gatherings, please speak out, back up anyone who has been the target of such behaviour, and encourage your peers to do the same. You can rely on support by our [Awareness]({filename}awareness/awareness.en.md), [CERT]({filename}cert/cert.en.md) und [Security]({filename}security/security.en.md) teams.
Beyond these obviousnesses, we cultivate a couple of rules that might not be familiar to the general public. In particular, please respect the high value of privacy in this community.
**Camera Policy:** Please ask everybody whose face or screen will be in the picture for consent *before* beginning to film or photograph.
