Sign up for our awesome New York Tech Events weekly email newsletter.     LOCATION EVENT DETAILS The Circle of HOPE will take place on July 20, 21, & 22, 2018 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. H.O.P.E. stands for Hackers On Planet Earth, one of the most creative & diverse hacker events in the world. It's been happening since 1994. Join us for three full days & nights of activities, including more of the provocative & enlightening speakers that the HOPE conferences are known for. In addition, we have access to a massive amount of space to put together all sorts of hacker projects & assorted fun stuff. In the past we've had huge hackerspace villages, film festivals, Segway rides, lock picking villages, a wide variety of vendors, art installations, live video, vintage computers, robots, an amateur/ham radio station, electronics workshops, book signings, & the country's biggest supply of Club-Mate. Now imagine all of that happening right in the middle of New York City, across the street from Penn Station & down the block from the Empire State Building. It seems impossible, but with the hard work & dedication of our huge volunteer staff, we're able to pull it off.
