The official Call For Speakers has been released for The Next HOPE, the eighth conference in the 16 year history of the Hackers On Planet Earth series. As usual, it will take place at the Hotel Pennsylvania in the middle of New York City from July 16-18, 2010.

If you would like to be a speaker, presentation ideas should be submitted with a synopsis of your topic and a short presenter bio, and will be chosen by relevance in a peer review. Seminars, panels, fireside chats, tutorials, debates, or other types of presentations are all welcome. Most presentations will be allotted 55 minutes.

Submissions should be sent to speakers@hope.net and include names (or aliases) and email addresses, in addition to the bio and topic summary requested above.

Subject matter will be very diverse so you're encouraged to be creative with any topics you come up with. More detailed information can be found at www.hope.net.
