The Last HOPE Conference is the seventh meeting of the annual Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE) conferences. Computer hacking and tech exhibitions are the common theme, but the main feature of the conference is the long list of guest speakers. Their presentations range from practical how-to guides and discussions of hard science to sociologically- and politically-charged lectures.Official Site: Talks
