Black hat is cool! You'll definitely enjoy it but seriously CCC in Germany is like nothing you've ever seen. I'd definitely recommend it and you wont regret it. It's like a whole new planet that place.

do you have a website for the one in Germany?

Check out all their talks. This year is 35C3 (35th year) Wallet.fail this year was particularly interesting. A LOT of really good quality talks. The mindset there is just unbelievable.

Browse about and watch the talks from past years too.
The Snowden revelation of NSA was shown here first before the rest of the world. Held a special announcement. In fact a lot of zero days, vulnerabilities etc. are revealed at ccc first since a lot of people have trouble getting into the US or fear of being aphrenhended like Marcus Hutchins, researcher who prevented wannacry from spreading further.
