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
March 2025 Librarian Community Call
The year is off to a rollercoaster of a start, but now is the time for community. The next OpenCon Librarian Community Call on March 11th at 12pm ET / 9am PT will be a guided question-and-answer session using an Etherpad to check in on each other about how we're all doing and to explore a very sticky scholarly communications topic—"transformative" agreements.
OpenCon Librarian Community Calls are limited to those working in libraries, and registration is now required. You can register for the March 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.
