We have a little bit of schedule juggling to announce. We're please to have world renowned security expert and author of Applied Cryptography Bruce Schneier join our speaking schedule for The Fifth HOPE, which runs from July 9 to 11 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City.

Bruce will be speaking Friday at noon in Area "A." The panel "Hacking More of the Invisible world moves to Area "B." The panel "An Introduction to Dissembler" moves to Saturday at 1:30 pm in Area "B." All of these changes are now reflected in our program.

The Hotel Pennsylvania is now sold out but there are still plenty of rooms in nearby hotels and throughout the city. We have a list of alternatives in a special section of The Fifth HOPE WIKI.

Admission for the entire weekend which includes nearly 70 talks and panels (including keynotes Steve Wozniak, Kevin Mitnick, and Jello Biafra), a 24 hour hacker movie room, a lockpicking workshop, a vast computer network, and more is $50. Preregistration is a really good idea but time is running out. Preregistration closes for anyone outside of the United States after June 25 and it closes for everyone after June 30. You'll be able to buy tickets at the door but only with cash.
