The Open Education Association has issued a call for proposals for the 2026 Open Education Conference. This annual gathering serves as a critical convening for educators, librarians, technologists, and researchers engaged in the open education movement. While the conference is rooted in educational practice, its scope encompasses the creation, dissemination, and critique of open knowledge—a domain that increasingly intersects with creative and scholarly production. The call is open to a range of formats, though specific guidelines are not detailed in the provided information. Proposals are typically evaluated for their relevance to open education, clarity of purpose, and potential to contribute to the field. The conference provides a platform for presenting research, sharing case studies, and leading workshops that advance open practices in teaching and learning. For creative practitioners, the conference offers an opportunity to engage with the ethical and practical dimensions of openness—from licensing and attribution to collaborative authorship and public access. It is a space where the politics of knowledge production are examined, and where artists and writers working with open methodologies may find a receptive audience.
