 The HOPE Matrix Bot aka Conference_bot is your friend. Message the bot with your ticket and it will invite you. 
 Some users have had to log out and log back in or switch browsers to get channels to show back up

4. Do I have to provide an email address?

 Adding your email for registration is optional. If you add an email you are required to verify it before you can log in.

5. I didn't get a confirmation email for a workshop I signed up for.

 There is no confirmation sent after you sign up for a workshop. You should receive an email with the room information about an hour before the workshop.

6. I can't get into a workshop why is the limit so low?

  Workshops are meant to be more interactive so while the space is virtual the teacher's capacity to help is limited. The person in charge of the workshop set the limit. 

7. Will workshops be recorded so I can watch them later?

  Most workshops aren't going to be recorded to watch later. That is up to the person giving the workshop. A list of workshops that were recorded will be available later.
