What is an unconference?

An unconference is a loosely structured event that prioritizes the informal
exchange of information and ideas between participants over a highly
structured program of contributed content. This is your opportunity to
connect with your fellow OA-enthusiasts.

What will we talk about?

You get to decide! You can submit topic ideas on the theme Community over
Commercialization <https://www.openaccessweek.org/theme> when you register.
Topics might include, but are not limited to, the following:


   -

   Open scholarship of all sorts, including OERs, Open Science, Open Data,
   Open Humanities, Open Knowledge;
   -

   Commercialization of OA models;
   -

   Proprietary versus community-minded infrastructure;
   -

   Read and Publish or “Transformative” agreements;
   -

   Garnering support from faculty, administrators, and legislators;
   -

   Preservation of open content;
   -

   Ethics of open content, including invisible labor embedded in OA
   creation, authors rights, content scraping by AI, etc.;
   -
