Hackers on Planet Earth
Conference series
About
The Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference series is a hacker convention sponsored by the security hacker magazine 2600: The Hacker Quarterly that until 2020 was typically held at Hotel Pennsylvania, in Manhattan, New York City.
Traditionally occurring biennially in the summer (possibly becoming annually after 2024), there have been 17 conferences to date. HOPE 2020, originally planned to be held at St. John's University, was instead held as a nine-day virtual event from 25 July to 2 August 2020. The most recent conference, "HOPE XV", was held at St. John's University in Queens from the 12th to 14 July 2024. HOPE features talks, workshops, demonstrations, tours, and movie screenings. The next HOPE conference, "HOPE_16" occurred at St. John's University in Queens from 15 to 17 August 2025, marking HOPE's announced transition to an annual event.
