We've finished compiling the speaker schedule for our upcoming conference (The Fifth HOPE) in July. We have nearly 70 talks and panels on all kinds of hacker-related topics, more than we've ever scheduled before. Whether you're into computers, phones, lockpicking, activism, hacking, phreaking, encryption, pirate radio, legal issues, publishing, or even if you're just plain curious, there's something for you here. Add to that the round-the-clock movie room, workshops, and massive computer network and you'll wonder how so much can get crammed into a single weekend.

The Fifth HOPE runs from early Friday July 9th through late Sunday July 11th at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. You can preregister online for US $50 for the entire weekend. If you're outside the United States, preregistration ends on June 25th. Inside the USA, we're closing preregistration on June 30th. You will be able to register at the door but lines may be long.

The Hotel Pennsylvania is now full for the weekend, however there is a list of alternative hotels on The Fifth HOPE WIKI.
