What is the Open Apereo 2019 conference? Open Apereo is the open-source conference for education. It's an international, inclusive event offered by the Apereo Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and sustaining innovative open-source software solutions for education. There are projects related to learning tools and environments, media capture and management, authoring learning materials, portals, authentication, learning analytics, and more.

This year's conference will be held in Los Angeles, California, USA from June 2-6, 2019.

Why does open source matter to higher education? Affordability and sprawling student debt are major issues for higher education. These challenges become magnified with the increasing pace of technology change and a desire to innovate towards more flexible systems to meet student and faculty needs. How do institutions meet challenge of sustaining innovation? Open-source software can help. Institutions that invest in open-source software as part of their software procurement strategy retain flexibility to both control costs and adapt to changing needs, circumstances, and challenges.

Why submit a conference presentation? Whether you are working with Apereo tools or not, we're interested in hearing about your ideas and solutions to current academic challenges. Share the teaching and learning, development, or leadership approaches that have been successful for your team or institution. Or spark a conversation about a key topic or issue that you feel needs a new, open-source approach, tool, or project to address.
