The Open Education Conference <https://openeducationconference.org/> is an annual convening for sharing and learning about open educational resources, open pedagogy, and open education initiatives. #OpenEd20 will be held as a virtual event on November 9-13, 2020. Proposals are enthusiastically welcomed from all who are interested in sharing about open education, including from all countries, education contexts, and roles. *Submit your proposal* <https://www.cvent.com/c/abstracts/eb556bc2-0114-4678-beb0-3488d2927036/>* by September 1, 2020, at 11:59 pm HST* This year’s theme of “Reimagining Open Education” seeks to inspire participants to reimagine open education as a solution to urgent challenges facing education in 2020, from the rapid pivot online in response to a global pandemic, the effects of longstanding structural inequities including systemic racism, and barriers to the access and full participation in the exchange of knowledge. Conference topics span the intersections of open education with COVID-19, social justice, sustainability, effective practices, how to get started, and more. The Call for Proposals <https://openeducationconference.org/2020/call-for-proposals> outlines synchronous and asynchronous virtual session types, which include interactive workshops, presentations, and a multi-format content showcase.
