Call for Failures @ hack.lu 2025 — Because We All Break Things
At hack.lu, we love stories of brilliance — new tools, cutting-edge exploits, and clever defenses.

That’s why we’re bringing back the Call for Failures (CFF) — a mini-conference inside hack.lu dedicated entirely to sharing the things that didn’t go as planned.
🗓️ When: Wednesday, 22 October 2025
🕖 Time: 19:00 – 21:00
📍 Where: At hack.lu, Luxembourg
