It is totally fine if this is your first time. It is also totally fine if you are a skilled virtuoso.A few of the many keynote talks from past HOPE conferences include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Chelsea Manning who famously shared classified U.S. military documents with WikiLeaks, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, and Edward Snowden.
We look forward to being together this summer at A New HOPE.
