Table of contents
While every talk or workshop is worth seeing, the content team cherrypicked seven for you. Under this list, you can find some of the projects that are at SHA as well. Full programme is on https://program.sha2017.org/
Several villages (the subcamps by people from around the world) have interesting projects - and most of them bring beautiful decorations, and fancy self-made light shows that make SHA one of the wildest things you can see at night.
Some examples of (user-contributed) projects:
Users are adding new projects to the camp wiki: watch the list. https://wiki.sha2017.org/w/Projects.
During your visit, a volunteer can guide you. These guides are knowledgeable about the event, cool sites, the programme and the hackere scene. In our experience, scrolling past just the highlights might take you well over two hours depending on your interests. You'll receive more practical information during the week of the event. Please specify other needs in your request.

We appreciate the press and obviously care a lot about free speech. However, we - and our visitors! - like our privacy a lot. On the other hand, there are loads of people who want to show you their work and views.
Still Hacking Anyway, or SHA2017, is a campsite organized for and by hackers. The camp takes place once every four years and attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. This year it serves as the biggest outdoor hacker event worldwide.
At the campsite hackers share their projects, views and can choose to visit over 120 talks about technology and society. The camp has various facilities aimed at hackers:
SHA is organized by a group of hackers who believe in world improvement through freedom of technology and information. As such SHA is characterized as five days of hands on tinkering and ideological debates. The camp gives the hacker community a major energy boost, which helps in this mission.
Being at SHA means being immersed in an exciting world filled with expertise, unique installations, discussions, works of art, blinking lights and various other impressive tech and horizon expanding world views. From lasers, to leds, to philosophy, to soldering: there is nothing like it.
Similar to the creative freedom spirit from festivals like Burning Man, a lot of visitors bring their own projects to show others and to collaborate on and create their own villages within the camp. Far more than only hacking security, we create things. Some villages are based on the many countries and cities people come from, others based on an interest like food, wearables, radio, hacking Tesla cars, drones, or being a parent and a hacker.
SHA welcomes everyone with an interest in technology and/or world improvement to join. The event is held from the 4th to 8th of August in Zeewolde, The Netherlands. Tickets are available at tickets.sha2017.org. More information is available at SHA2017.org.
