Welcome to the main page for The Fifth HOPE, sponsored by 2600. Yes, it was
our fifth conference in New York City and this one was the
best yet. It all took place July 9-11, 2004, at the Hotel Pennsylvania
in Manhattan.
The Fifth HOPE ran around the clock starting Friday morning and ending
Sunday night. We had a huge amount of space on three floors in the hotel,
which is located right across the street from Penn Station in midtown. We
had over 70 talks and panels scheduled, plus a third track of unscheduled
talks that people can sign up for at the conference. We had
volunteers to help with setup and coordination, add to the
network of computers we hooked together, set up informational
booths to promote projects you're involved in, and came up with ideas on
things to do that we hadn't already thought of! The potential was virtually
without limit.
This was a conference by, for, and about hackers on as many levels as we can
come up with, ranging from the highly technical to the down to earth,
from computers to phones, from serious to hilarious. And our doors are
open to anyone interested in what the hacker world has to say.
We have two full tracks of speakers and the
schedule is posted in the "Speakers"
section of this site. In addition to the above-mentioned third
track, we also had an around-the-clock hacker movie room and a
continuous lockpicking workshop.
