Hosting an Event

Hackerspace Stockholm is available for external bookings — workshops, offsites, hackathons, ctfs, and more! Every booking comes with a member host on-site, fast internet, space access and access to the kitchen. We're a working hackerspace, and we want the events we host to reflect that.

What We Welcome

We host events that align with the spirit of the space — technical, creative, collaborative, and community-minded.

Tech workshops & hands-on skill sessions
Team offsite days
Hackathons (open or internal)
Product demos & launch events
Networking & community meetups
Photography & video shoots (tech/maker context)

What We Don't Do

Pure sales or recruitment pitches with no community value
Events that exclude or charge our members without good reason
Anything that conflicts with our values (surveillance tech, predatory data practices, etc.)
Events requiring us to sign NDAs that restrict our members

If you're unsure whether your event is a fit, just ask — we'd rather have the conversation than turn you away without one.

Do You Need to Be a Member to Book?

No. External companies and individuals can book the space directly. Every booking is assigned a **member host** who will be present throughout your event. They're there to help things run smoothly — not to babysit.

Event Booking Process

1. Submit a proposal — use the [Propose an Event](#propose-an-event) form below or email us with the basics: what, who, when, and how many people.
2. We review it — we'll check it fits our values, capacity, and calendar. We aim to respond within a few working days.
3. Confirm the details — once approved, we'll lock in the date, go over logistics, and assign your member host.
4. Run your event — your host will be on-site from setup through to the end.

Lead time: We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance. For larger events (50+ people, multi-day, or events needing significant setup), please give us at least 4 weeks.

AV equipment — projector/screen or display, microphone, and speakers
Fast internet — wired and Wi-Fi

Available on request: Access to workshop machines and tools (laser cutter, 3D printers, soldering stations, etc.) — discuss requirements during booking

Event Rules & Responsibilities

We keep the rules simple. If you book the space, you're responsible for it.

Noise — be mindful of neighbours and other members using the space. Late-night events may have restrictions — confirm in advance.
Cleanup — leave the space as you found it. This includes the kitchen, toilets, and any areas you used. If you're not sure what "as you found it" means, ask your host.
Guests — you're responsible for the conduct of your guests while they're in the space.
Liability — HackSthlm is not liable for loss or damage to personal belongings. For larger events, we may ask you to confirm your own event insurance.
Machine access — if you've requested tool or machine access, only people who have been briefed may use them. Your host will manage this.
Cancellations — please give us as much notice as possible. Late cancellations for paid bookings may be subject to a fee.
