Usually occurring biennially in the summer, there have been fourteen conferences to date.[2][3] HOPE 2020, originally planned to be held at St. John's University,[4] was instead held as a nine-day virtual event from July 25 to August 2, 2020.[5] The most recent conference, "A New HOPE", was held at St. John's University in Queens from July 22 to 24, 2022.[6] HOPE XV is scheduled for July 12-14, 2024 at St. John's University.[7] HOPE features talks, workshops, demonstrations, tours, and movie screenings.
HOPE was significantly inspired by the quadrennial Hack-Tic events in the Netherlands which also inspired the annual Chaos Communication Congress (C3) held in Germany. Summercon was an additional influential predecessor.[citation needed]
