Open Access and Open Data are transforming the ways we conduct research and
share our work with the world, while Open Educational Resources (OER) are
revolutionizing teaching and learning in the classroom. Whether you are
familiar with these terms or just hearing them for the first time, we
invite you to OpenCon Boulder <https://www.opencon2018.org/opencon_boulder> to
learn more about how the Open model is bringing new insights, inclusivity,
and innovation into scholarship and education.

Dr. Bethany Wiggin, co-founder of DataRefuge <https://www.datarefuge.org/> and
the Founding Director of the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities, will
keynote the event. The keynote will be followed by a panel on "Building
Towards an Open Access Future." Panelists for this event will include a
variety of Colorado stakeholders in higher education. The afternoon will be
dedicated to learning about advocacy for OER and current initiatives and
legislation in Colorado. Each attendee will leave with their own engagement
plan to apply workshop lessons to their own context and goals.

If you're interested in learning more, please visit the OpenCon 2018 website
