Open Apereo 2020: Open Source, Innovation and Affordability

The Open-Source Conference for Education

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor | June 15-19, 2020

#apereo20

PROPOSAL DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 20!

The Open Apereo 2020 Call for Proposals is open NOW!

Affordability and the massive growth of student debt are major challenges for higher education. These challenges are magnified by the pace of technology change. How can institutions innovate around systems to meet student and faculty needs? How can they meet the challenge of sustaining innovation? How can cost and flexibility be balanced? Open-source software can help, and at Open Apereo 2020 you can find out how. Institutions that invest in open-source software as part of their software procurement strategy retain capacity, which means flexibility to control costs and adapt to changing needs, circumstances, and challenges.

Open Apereo 2020 is a practitioners event. Learn how higher education is using open-source software to help deliver the academic mission, control costs, and retain the capacity to innovate. Share your own experience. Join us at Open Apereo 2020 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA (Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19, 2020). 

We’re planning big changes to Open Apereo 2020. You can read about them here https://www.apereo.org/content/open-apereo-2020-vision. Real-world stories of open source success remain a vital component of the program.
