Dear OPN,

Excited to share the news that applications for OpenCon 2016 are now open
<http://www.opencon2016.org/2016_applications_open>. OpenCon is the
conference and community to empower the next generation to advance Open
Access, Open Education and Open Data. OpenCon 2016 takes place November
12-14 in Washington, DC. Our application process makes it possible to bring
together a diverse, representative, highly energized audience to the
conference (most invited participants receive travel scholarships), while
also engaging thousands more student and early career Open advocates
through the live broadcast, local satellite events, and year-round
community activities.

The passion and creativity of student and early career open advocates can
be a powerful driver of Open Policy whether in schools, governments or
institutions. Please help spread the world about this unique opportunity
through your networks.

*Application process to attend OpenCon 2016 in Washington, DC now open!*

The application period for OpenCon 2016 on November 12-14 in Washington, DC
is now open! The application is available at
http://www.opencon2016.org/apply and includes the opportunity to apply for
a travel scholarship. Applications will close on July 11th at 11:59pm U.S.
Pacific Time.

OpenCon seeks to bring together effective, engaged students and early
career academic professionals from around the world to advance Open Access,
Open Education, and Open Data—regardless of their ability to pay for travel
costs. In OpenCon’s first two years, most attendees received full or
partial scholarships to attend the conference. For this reason, attendance
at OpenCon is by application only.

The benefits of applying for OpenCon 2016 extend far beyond attending the
Washington, DC meeting. It’s an opportunity to find new collaborators, get
connected with scholarships to attend related conferences, and be
recognized by the community for the work you do to promote openness in
research and education! Applications are reviewed by alumni from the
OpenCon community, and those applicants whom community members identify as
doing key work to advance Open Access, Open Education, or Open Data will
receive public recognition.

Students and early career academic professionals of all experience levels
are encouraged to apply. We want to support those who have ideas for new
projects and initiatives in addition to those who are already leading them.
The most important criteria is an interest in advancing Open Access, Open
Education, and Open Data and a commitment to taking action.

Speakers at the first two OpenCon conferences have included Jimmy Wales
(Co-founder of Wikipedia) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jff4Xo1fwIA>,
Amy Rosenbaum (Director of Legislative Affairs to the President of the
United States), Mike Eisen <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHYc9Z12j7M>
and Pat Brown <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7CMMdQgbew> (Co-founders of
PLOS), Julia Reda (Member of the European Parliament)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EeWrUDGnYE>, and Phil Bourne (Associate
Director for Data Science of the U.S. National Institutes of Health)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO91mTEDgjQ>, and more than 15 students
and early career academic professionals leading successful initiatives.

While attendance at the main conference in Washington, DC is by application
only, everyone is invited to participate freely in the interactive webcast,
OpenCon Live. OpenCon is also looking for partners to host local satellite
events that combine some of the programming from the main conference with
local presentations to advance the conversation around opening up research
and education in your community. To express your interest in hosting a
satellite event and get more information, visit
http://www.opencon2016.org/satellite.

The meeting in Washington, DC serves as the centerpiece of a much larger
network to foster initiatives and collaboration among the next generation
across OpenCon’s issue areas.  Become an active part of the community by
joining our discussion list <http://opencon2015.org/community/discussion>,
tuning in for our monthly community calls
<http://opencon2015.org/community/calls> and webcasts
<http://opencon2015.org/community/webcasts>, or hosting an OpenCon
satellite event <http://opencon2015.org/satellite> in your community.

Apply now <http://www.opencon2016.org/apply>, and join the OpenCon
community today!
