The 2015 Open Government Partnership Global Summit will be held in Mexico
City on October 27, 28 and 29. Around 1,500 participants from government,
civil society organizations, multilateral organizations, media, and the
private sector are expected to attend. This will provide an excellent
opportunity for leaders from OGP’s 65 participating countries and beyond to
exchange ideas on how they are making their government more transparent,
accountable, and responsive to citizens. It will also be an opportunity for
experts representing different fields, sectors, and regions from around the
world to talk about goals, challenges, experiences, and best practices in
the implementation of open government commitments.

In keeping with the OGP’s spirit of cooperation and co-creation, and our
belief that “good ideas comes from everywhere”, the agenda for the Global
Summit will be based on an open call for proposals from participants. We
are inviting all interested parties to submit a description of the session
they would like to lead during the Summit.

*The call for proposals closes on August 14.*

The Organizing Committee will be evaluating the proposals on a rolling
basis, therefore we suggest you send your proposals as soon as possible.
Please review the complete selection criteria here
<http://tinyurl.com/OGPCriteria>. Please bear in mind that proposals
including innovative and dynamic methods of encouraging participation and
exchange will have a greater chance of being included in the summit agenda.

Global Summit. If you have not pre-registered yet, please do so here
