CodeCon is a conference for hackers and technology enthusiasts. CodeCon is intended to be a low cost conference, with a focus on developers doing presentations of working code, rather than on companies with products to sell.

Organizers

Bram Cohen and Len Sassaman are credited with devising and organizing the first conference at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, California. After discussing what they considered shortcomings of other conferences, they decided a much more hacker-friendly alternative was needed. CodeCon was the result of that discussion.

CodeCon 2002

The first conference was held at the DNA Lounge and hosted a number of projects that have received recognition since their unveiling. Some prominent examples include BitTorrent and Peek-a-Booty.

There were also panel discussions, including one about the legality of hacking, which focused on the actions of the MPAA and RIAA against peer-to-peer file sharing networks.

CodeCon 2003

The second conference, in 2003, was moved to a new venue better suited for presentations and audience called Club NV . It attracted more participants than the previous conference.

CodeCon 2004

CodeCon 2004 was also held at Club NV, on February 20 through February 22.
