OpenEd26 Program Released

Jul 27

We are thrilled to announce the program for the 2026 Open Education Conference! This year’s fully virtual event will be held from October 27-29. The conference's theme, "The Space Between," invites us to examine the possibilities that exist in the spaces we often overlook. Recognizing that openness is fundamentally relational, it acknowledges the gaps that remain in our open education work and how we might work together to bridge them. Register now to ensure you don’t miss this exciting event! Discounted earlybird rates end August 31.

The 2026 program is packed with diverse sessions that explore the space between our policies and practices, our values and our impact, and where we are and where we aspire to be. Attendees can look forward to a variety of programming designed to cater to all levels of experience in open education. Be sure not to miss our engaging keynote speakers with talks designed to help us self-reflect as a field, and spark discussions about where open education should be headed next.
