About IFCAT

The Stichting International Festivals for Creative Application of Technology Foundation (IFCAT) facilitates the organizing of the quadrennial Dutch hacker camps. Currently this is MCH2022.

Why? Hackers improve the world through technology. We believe that hacker camps help strengthening the community: it’s a good time, gives energy, fostering new ideas and projects.

IFCAT supports the organization of the dutch hacker camps in the following ways:

  • Bringing together and supporting volunteers
  • Entering into legal agreements
  • Management and accountability of finances (such as budgeting)
  • Keeping overview of progress and health of the event and people associated

IFCAT History

The IFCAT foundation was founded in 2011 as a legal vehicle for OHM2013.

After the OHM2013 event the role of IFCAT changed to search for a new group to organize the 2017 event.

In 2016 a new group of organizers formally took on the role of leading the 2017 event and managing the IFCAT foundation. They organized SHA2017. With slight changes the team now organizes MCH2022.
