Preregistration for the fourth Hackers On Planet Earth conference is now open.

H2K2 will take place in New York City's Hotel Pennsylvania from Friday, July 12 through Sunday, July 14. We will have approximately four times the space we had at our last conference, making this the largest hacker conference in U.S. history.

But it's not about size. It's about quality. And that's something we are dedicating ourselves to providing over the next few months. Your help is greatly needed and appreciated. If you'd like to put yourself on a list of people to be called upon to help out in various ways, just email volunteers@h2k2.net and tell us what you're interested in helping out with. We're also looking for interesting panels and speakers to help make H2K2 interesting. If you want to be part of this, email speakers@h2k2.net.
