To celebrate hackerspace.gent and the hacker community once a year, we organize the "Newline" hacker conference. A newline character marks the end of a line and moves the cursor to the next one. It's a sign of progress and it gives you a whole new line to be filled. Let's join for some short accessible talks, warm food, cold beer, and Club Mate.

Newline is an open stage for anyone with a story to tell. Whether it's about technology, a
creative hack, or something completely unexpected, we want to hear it. Previous topics include:
Generating fake QR codes to get extra fancy IKEA milkshakes, the everyday life of someone who
drinks 20(!) cups of coffee, and how open-source licensing helped push major tech companies to
play fair.
If you've found a clever trick, explored a niche
topic, or just have an experience worth sharing, now's your chance. We provide the space, the
audience, and a great atmosphere—just bring your talk. Want to participate?
