Videos from the Chaos Communication Congress, a hacker con, are online — Tim Pritlove calls this "150 hours of hardcode nerd education."

The 22nd Chaos Communication Congress (22C3) is a four-day conference on
technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and
workshops on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to)
information technology, IT-security, internet, cryptography and
generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the
discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

The Chaos Communication Congress is the annual congress of the Chaos
Computer Club e.V. (CCC). The Congress has established itself as the
"European Hacker Conference" bringing in people from all over Europe and
even further away.
