Usually occurring biennially in the summer, there have been fourteen conferences to date. HOPE 2020, originally planned to be held at St. John's University, was instead held as a nine-day virtual event from July 25 to August 2, 2020. The most recent conference, "A New HOPE", was held at St. John's University in Queens from July 22 to 24, 2022. HOPE XV is scheduled for July 12-14, 2024 at St. John's University. HOPE features talks, workshops, demonstrations, tours, and movie screenings.

HOPE was significantly inspired by the quadrennial Hack-Tic events in the Netherlands which also inspired the annual Chaos Communication Congress (C3) held in Germany. Summercon was an additional influential predecessor.
