== NEED A TICKET? ==
== Tickets for HOPE 26 ==
We have a [[Ticket_Exchange|Ticket Exchange wiki page]] for connecting people who want a ticket with people who have extra tickets.
<!-- Tickets are available for this summer's HOPE 26 -- starting Tuesday 24-March, 12:00 EDT!<br>
You can purchase '''in-person tickets''' [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26?variant=42147982737463 here].<br>
You will also be able to purchase in-person at the HOPE Registration Desk at the Registration Desk at the event at the New Yorker Hotel.<br>
<br> -->
<span style="color:#FF66B2">'''NOTE: HOPE 26 is SOLD OUT, and there will be NO TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.'''</span>


== Your Arrival at A New HOPE, Parking, and Pedestrians ==
== Virtual Attendance ==
You can also attend this summer's HOPE 26 virtually!<br>
You can buy your '''Virtual Attendee ticket''' [https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-26-virtual-attendee here].<br>
All in-person attendees also get access to the full virtual program. This includes the online chat, and the ability to watch livestreams of all talks.


Everyone attending A New HOPE must provide proof of vaccination before getting their conference badge (see the COVID-19 Safety item, below). Once you provide your proof of vaccination, you will next go to the Registration Desk to get your badge. Your badge is for all 3 conference days, so don't lose it.
== HOPE Scholarship Program ==
Even though the ticket prices for HOPE 26 are as low as possible, some people -- including many students -- say they can't afford the price. Other people have offered to donate a ticket for those who can't afford to buy one.<br>
The '''HOPE Scholarship Program''' is a way that students and others who can't afford HOPE admission can attend for FREE thanks to the generosity of HOPE supporters. Here's how it works:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* If you want to donate an admission to HOPE 26, please go to [https://www.hope.net/scholarships/ our Scholarship page] and fill out the form.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* If you want to apply for a scholarship for HOPE 26, please go to [https://www.hope.net/scholarships/ our Scholarship page] and fill out the form.<br>
Students should send an email message from their school email address (if possible). Mention your current academic status (school, year, and program) and write 50-200 words about why you are interested in attending HOPE 26. Non-students should send an email message briefly describing your situation and what benefits you anticipate from attending HOPE 26.


If you are parking on campus, use Gate 6 to park in the parking structure. You will get a parking pass when you get your badge, to display on your dashboard (yes, you need to walk to provide proof of vaccination, then to Registration, then back to your vehicle - sorry about that). Parking is free, and for the entire conference.
== How to Join Matrix ==
[[Matrix How-To|Click here]] to join the online Matrix chat.


For the Gate 6 location, see the St. John's [https://www.stjohns.edu/sites/default/files/2019-02/m1-10649_queens_map_legend.pdf campus map]. Driving directions from the west: Head west on the Grand Central Parkway and exit right at 188th St. At the light make a left and then an immediate right and stay on that street until you get to Utopia Parkway. Stay on the service road and make a left on 168th St and a right on Goethals Ave and Gate 6 will be right in front of you.
== Livestream Information ==
During the event, the 2 main talk tracks will be live-streamed


If you are taking public transportation, you will likely enter via Gate 5. Note that Gate 6 is the only entry between 11pm and 6am for pedestrians or drivers, and you will need your conference badge for admission to campus.
[[Matrix How-To|Click here]] to join the online Matrix chat. You will need the token from your ticket. Tickets are sent a few days before HOPE begins. If you have a Matrix login from a previous HOPE event, it should still work for Matrix.


== COVID-19 Safety ==
== Ticket Exchange ==
All in-person attendees for A New HOPE need to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Attendees will show proof of vaccination upon check-in. This will be separate from registration and we will NOT save that information. (This allows you to attend the conference under an alias while filling the above requirement.)<br>
HOPE 26 will likely sell out before the event.  If you have a ticket to give away or trade, or if you want a ticket for HOPE 26, then you can try using our<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[Ticket_Exchange_HOPE_26|Ticket Exchange wiki page]].
 
== HOPE Schedule App ==
We again have a HOPE Program app, a privacy-friendly conference schedule app with strong offline capabilities. It will run on all Android devices.<br>
<br>
<br>
All attendees will be required to wear a mask indoors at St. John's University throughout A New HOPE.
You can download the HOPE 26 Program app from:<br>
* [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.metadude.android.hope.schedule Google Play]
