After the COVID19 pandemic hiatus, we are re-launching CryptoParty London physical face to face events at the excellent Ninety One Living Room, jazz venue on Brick Lane, Shoreditch.

N.B. COVID-19 and new strains of influenza are still around this winter, so please get vaccinated if you are vulnerable, wash your hands and wear a mask on public transport or in crowds.

The scheduled talk is about the pros and cons of the recently introduced Apple iOS Stolen Device Protection.

There will be experts on hand to give free advice on digital rights, privacy, technology and techniques such as secure communications on your mobile phone or how to protect confidential sources and contacts.

We are NOT focussed on CryptoCurrrency speculation, but even those of you who are, do need to know about basic privacy and security techniques.

Come and chat with us and exchange information, cryptographic keys or messages and perhaps share a CryptoParty themed cocktail.

Free entrance, all welcome, no registration needed.

What's a CryptoParty ?

CryptoParties are FREE, beginner-friendly gatherings to help people of all ages and abilities to reclaim their privacy and power online. Our trainers are digital privacy experts who will help you with phone security, private communications, secure passwords, social media privacy settings, web browsing privacy and more.

We also host talks, debates and workshops on digital rights, privacy, technology (and the systems of power around it!).

If you've been to a CryptoParty already or are an advanced tech user, you're welcome too! Come and talk to us about your favourite project or topic, start an impromptu workshop about it, meet new friends and find potential collaborators.

N.B. public speaking or communicating complex subjects to non-specialist audiences can be daunting, even for subject matter experts, so come along and practice in a friendly CryptoParty London environment.

Let's all build CryptoParty London as a space for collaboration and p2p learning. Let's hack away the gloomy feeling of surveillance capitalism and build our stairway to digital empowerment.

CryptoParty London is supported by Big Brother Watch and friends. If you want get involved, get in touch!
