<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">OpenCon is the student and early career academic professional conference that focuses on Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data. It seeks to empower the next generation to advance openness in research and education.
This event will form one of the many international satellite events of the bigger
</span><a href="http://www.opencon2015.org/"><span lang="EN-US">OpenCon 2016 </span>
</a><span lang="EN-US">conference that will take place two weeks earlier in Washington, DC. OpenCon satellite events are organised by those (like us!) who are passionate about communicating the important messages of Open Information with the world, and are
welcome to anyone interested in joining the conversation and connecting with a community of like-minded individuals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Our event kicks off on Thursday 24<sup>th</sup> Nov with an
<b>epic hackathon / collaborative coding event</b> where, amongst other activities decided by YOU, we’ll have a
<b>reproducibility hack</b> where we attempt to reproduce the analysis and figures of a paper from the raw data! Our keynote speaker on Friday will be

<b>presentations and interesting talks made by those who have benefited and gained from open information</b>, we’ll run
<b>focused workshops on themes you’ll choose via crowdsourcing</b>. During the event, we will run a few
<b>short and themed focus group sessions</b>; in each session we hope to start a conversation where people share advice and success stories about Open Science. Saturday will see discussion-groups whose themes we’ll crowdsource during the event. Discussions
and resources will be collated via open documents like etherpads and collected as outputs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
