A couple nitpicky things....

The wristbands were kinda meh. They did look great. But it was kinda annoying not being able to take them off (maybe should have put it on loose instead). I would certainly vote to bring the lanyard badges back.

No power strips on the work space area tables on the mezzanine. I use that space a bunch and missed not having those.

I should also add that on Friday I asked the help desk a few times for the password for the Wi-Fi and they said that the open Wi-Fi was the only option. I’m fairly sure that is why there was a majority of people using the open Wi-Fi versus PSK (a stat mentioned at closing). I only found out on Sunday what the password for the PSK network was when an MC mentioned it.

Amazing conference this year. Thanks!

The vast majority of problems we experience are due to lack of communication or just plain miscommunication. As soon as we fix it in one place, it seems to pop up in another. But we’ll continue trying to sort out the issues you mention.

We gave people the option of removing their wristbands and trading them in so they didn’t have to wear them for the entire weekend. We probably didn’t put up enough signs stating this. The same thing happened regarding conveying access to the various Wi-Fi options.

There should have been power strips in the work space area as we certainly had more than enough of them. We’ll look into that.

We’re happy that the overcrowding issues seem to have been alleviated. That was the primary complaint from the previous conference and we spent a lot of time coming up with methods of addressing it. The expansion downstairs seems to have done the trick.

Dear 2600 :

I would like to start off by saying thanks a lot for making HOPE be HOPE. It was my first time at HOPE and it was the best conference I have ever been to. The spirit and community was amazing! I had very high hopes and it was better than I could ever imagine. It had everything! And the new demo part was amazing! I stayed until 01:30 and then went straight to my hotel room and feel asleep.

I booked Hotel Penn half a year in advance in order to make sure I could get a room. I got a nice room on the 16th floor and the hotel was good in all ways. It was the first time I was in New York City (I’m from Gothenburg, Sweden), so I did the casual tourist stuff like Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and so on....

After live streaming it last time, I wanted to see what has been up with the dude that talked about torrenting chemicals, so I attended his talk: “Torrent More Pharmaceutical Drugs: File Sharing Still Saves Lives” and wow! What a talk! This guy sure is a true hero! I never thought biohacking was so cool until
