FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is HoodCon run by Robinhood?
No. HoodCon is an independent event organized by members of the community. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc., Robinhood Crypto, LLC, or any of their affiliates. We use "Robinhood Chain" only to describe the ecosystem the conference covers. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly on this site.
When and where is it?
HoodCon 2027 will be held in Tampa, Florida, in summer 2027, on two midweek days. We'll announce the exact dates and venue here and email the waitlist once contracts are signed.
How do I get tickets?
Tickets aren't on sale yet. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when registration opens. Waitlist members get first access to early-bird pricing.
Where should I stay?
We're negotiating a discounted room block at a host hotel, and it will be posted on this page. We recommend waiting for the official block before booking. If you're traveling as a group, short-term rentals are another option.
How can my company sponsor or exhibit?
Fill out the interest form and choose "Sponsor" or "Exhibitor," or email [email protected]. We'll send the prospectus as soon as it's ready.
Does HoodCon give investment advice or sell tokens?
No. HoodCon is an educational and networking event. Nothing on this site or at the event is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and HoodCon does not sell or promote any token or security. Speakers and sponsors share their own views.
Will there be a code of conduct?
Yes. All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff will be expected to follow a code of conduct. We'll publish it before registration opens.
