Dear Colleagues,

Save the date!

This year’s OpenCon Ohio 2026 will be offered for free via Zoom on Friday, May 15, 2026 with an in-person preconference on May 14 at Cleveland State University. Our theme this year will be Reimagining Learning: The Future of Open Education. We are thrilled to have Anna Mills, visionary leader in open education and AI, as our keynote speaker!

We are also pleased to offer an in-person component to our event for the first time since 2020. Our in-person preconference event will be held at Cleveland State University on Thursday, May 14th. The free preconference is meant to build community, allow for the exchange of ideas and resources, and offer training related to textbook affordability for our Ohio and Midwestern region colleagues. The preconference is generously sponsored by the Midwest Higher Education Compact (MHEC).

Stay tuned for more information, or check our website for updates: https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/oa/opencon2026/

Sincerely,

Heather Caprette, on behalf of the OpenCon Ohio 2026 planning committee
