Now for my favorite talk of the event, the #38c3 Infrastructure Review.
Organizing an event like this is no small feat—it takes immense effort from planning to clean-up. Let's hear from the various teams that made this event possible.

Next up is the C3 Lingo (@c3lingo) who interprets the talks. They interpret 100% of all of the talks with a team of 75 interpreters. Most talks were translated into German / English but also several other languages. This year they had 3 translators per both instead of 2 that they had last year.
One of the main problems this year was that the number of talks increase and the break time is decreasing. This was solved by using a new distribution tool. The audience was able to tune in via the new audio portal. #38c3
Next up is C3 Cert (@c3cert). This year was quiet, there were only 156 incidents. Most of these events were the result of broken glass. The most dangerous place at the conference is the entrance hall where most incidents happened. Day 2 was quite busy. #38c3
