HOPE_16 is less than three months away! That may sound like a lot of time, but the conference will be upon us before you know it!

If you want to give a presentation of your own, the final deadline for speakers is Monday, June 2nd, 2025. We are already adding more talks onto our site where you can see what a wide range of diverse and interesting content we're looking for and which has already become part of this year's program! Your ideas can also be included.

We have heard from a number of potential HOPE attendees who are expressing concern over traveling to the United States from foreign countries, including Germany, China, and Canada. The chilling effect of the Trump administration's anti-immigrant posture is real - and having impacts on legitimate travel.
