NOTE: THIS WIKI PAGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

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.
HOPE Scholarship Program
Even though the ticket prices for HOPE 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.
