Dear all,

Applications to attend OpenCon 2018 in Toronto on November 2-4 are closing
July 13th. Not long left! You can apply now at opencon2018.org/apply
<https://www.opencon2018.org/apply> The application form includes the
option to request a travel scholarship, which will be awarded to most
participants who are offered an invitation to the meeting and require
financial support to attend.

Apply now <http://www.opencon2018.org/apply>

Applications will remain open until July 13th at 11:59pm U.S. Pacific Time.
However, we strongly encourage you to apply early. Applications submitted
early will be reviewed first, and the Organizing Committee may issue early
acceptance decisions, especially to applicants who need visas.

The benefits of applying for OpenCon extend far beyond attending the
meeting in Toronto. 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!

OpenCon 2018’s three-day program will begin with two days of panels and
interactive workshops that highlight diverse, early career voices from
every continent. The third day will feature an all-day “do-a-thon,” where
participants have the opportunity to craft new campaigns, lay the
foundations for new resources, and form collaborations that will continue
long after the November conference is over.

OpenCon is more than just a conference—it’s also a community. We hope that
you participate as an active part of the community
<https://www.opencon2018.org/community>, tune in for our monthly community
calls, or consider hosting an OpenCon satellite event
<https://www.opencon2018.org/satellite> in your region.

We hope you’ll apply this year and look forward to seeing you in the
OpenCon community!

Nick Shockey & Joe McArthur,

On behalf of the OpenCon 2018 Organizing Committee

P.s sorry for all the cross posting!
