* This year, the Open Education Conference is introducing a “Virtual Exhibit Hall” to allow sponsors and exhibitors to interact directly with conference attendees. The event will be held within a Zoom room at the scheduled time above. Sponsors/exhibitors will be assigned a named breakout room within the Zoom session. Attendees will have the ability to self-navigate from breakout room to breakout room and will be incentivized to visit each breakout room. Conference staff will be present in the main Zoom room to direct participants and answer technical questions. A slide with a list of all sponsors/exhibitors will be displayed in the main Zoom room.
For more information, please reach out to contact@openeducationconference.org.
