Welcome to the OpenCon community. With the annual events at the core, OpenCon supports a dynamic, diverse, and growing community that works year round to advance Open Access, Open Education and Open Data. The OpenCon community is open to anyone—not just those who have attended the main conference or a satellite event. Together, we can and are build a conference and, more importantly, a community that makes a difference.
Community CallsJoin our regular community calls to keep up to date with the work being done around the world to advance Open Access, Open Data, and Open Education. |
Attend an EventWhile the global event is application only, satellite event hosts bring OpenCon to you. See if there is an event near you, or step up with our support to bring OpenCon to you. |
DiscussWhenever you need input, a helping hand or a signal boost you can find what you need on #OpenCon. Twitter is where the OpenCon community is most active, so we’ll see you there. |
Upcoming Events
May 2025 Librarian Community Call
Times are rough and we're all sitting with a lot of anxiety. The next OpenCon Librarian Community Call on May 13th at 12pm ET / 9am PT will be a community building session, where we'll try to lessen our anxiety about the world. Creativity and pets are encouraged, but not required.
OpenCon Librarian Community Calls are limited to those working in libraries, and registration is now required. You can register for the May call here.
Agenda and Notes
You can find all the proposed agendas and notes from the Librarian community calls in one place, right here.
Recordings
Community Calls are not recorded to support a safer environment for open and honest discussion. However, notes are taken.
What to expect
Community calls are always friendly, and we love new faces. The more you participate, the more you'll get out of it! No doubt there will be a lot of this too.
