I have never been to a CryptoParty, what are you even talking about!? CryptoParties are free events where you can upskill, learn how to use digital privacy tools and discuss current topics on surveillance and digital rights. CryptoParties are free, friendly and open to everyone. Our guiding principle is be excellent to each other. All welcome, total beginners as much as experts.

I am a regular at CryptoPartyLDN, what should I expect at December’s event? Come to the December CryptoParty for the most festive CryptoParty of all time*. Bye 2017! This is the privacy party of the year, with a chance to celebrate our giant leaps, forget what went wrong, and train the real people of the future. Wearing Christmas jumpers is strongly recommended and deeply respected.
