The conference is held every year with the intent to help attendees network, grow, share, and learn from each other. This year, Apereo is including a one-day Open Summit on May 23, in which participants involved in open education initiatives will share their experiences and best practices, as well as develop a common understanding to better facilitate communication and synchronization across the emerging open landscape. The Open Summit provides a forum for this community to collaborate, contribute, and co-create. Apereo is still accepting registrations for this conference.
