Presented at
The Eleventh HOPE (2016),
July 23, 2016, 1 p.m.
(90 minutes).
We are so stoked to have <a href="https://xi.hope.net/speakers.html#Cory Doctorow">Cory Doctorow</a> as our keynote this year. We've been trying to get the stars to align for many HOPEs, and this time they did. But we're glad we waited until now, since so much has happened in the past few years that Cory has been on top of - Snowden, Manning, privacy, copyright issues, surveillance - and his talk will no doubt open your eyes even more. As co-editor of <em>Boing Boing,</em> special advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and a vocal proponent of changing our copyright laws, Cory really has a lot of super-important and relevant thoughts to share with our HOPE audience.
