The Annual Meeting of the Open edX Community The Open edX project is a learning experience platform originally created by edX, a nonprofit online initiative created by founding partners Harvard and MIT and composed of dozens of leading global institutions. This event is focused on sharing knowledge among members of the global Open edX community. We will discuss innovative uses across higher education, training and lifelong learning, instructional design and course production techniques, and methods for operating, extending and enhancing the Open edX platform. In previous years, 200 developers, educators, and decision-makers for educational and training initiatives who work with or want to learn more about the Open edX platform gathered to share, learn, and celebrate the platform. Our keynote speakers this year are: Anant Agarwal, CEO and founder of edX Nick van Dam, Global CLO, McKinsey & Co. Vincent Zimmer, founder of Kiron Our full schedule is online -- to learn more, dive into each of our tracks on our online schedule: Innovative courses Analytics and research Corporate & Professional Learning Trends Course authoring & MOOC production Operations and technical deep-dives All attendees of the Open edX conference must abide by the conference's code of conduct. Location Universidad Carlos III Madrid (UC3M) has been an innovator in the area of MOOCs and an enthusiastic supporter of the Open edX project for many years. We are excited to explore beautiful Madrid and it's many sights, including: The Prado Museum, a short walk from the central Atocha train station and the conference hotels Gran Via, the central road through the old city of Madrid Lots of great food, wine and more! Hands-on days We are currently in the process of confirming space for our technical "hands-on" days the day before and after the main conference. We are planning to have two hands-on days: the day before the main conference and the day after. Tuesday, May 23: Tutorials The day before the conference, we are planning to host community-driven tutorials, including a developer environment "installfest" and tutorials on a variety of technical topics. Friday, May 26: Project day and training In past years, we have hosted a hackathon in conjunction with the Open edX conference. This year, due to time constraints, we will host a "project day" where edX and community engineers can share their project ideas, collaborate on designs, pair program and get feedback. We will have a short kickoff and wrap-up to share your project ideas and what you accomplished and learned during the day. You can share your idea for a project on the Open edX conference wiki. We will also be hosting a one-day introductory course author training for anyone interested in learning or getting a refresher on the basics of creating courses using Studio. Please indicate your interest in attending the hands-on day activities when you register. Conference Hotels in Madrid The location of the conference is in Leganés, a 25 minute train ride from the main train station in Madrid. We expect many attendees will be interested in exploring Madrid before and after conference proceedings, recommend three NH Hotels. All are within a 10-15 minute walk to the Atocha train station. From the train station, it is a 10 minute walk to the campus of UC3M. Please note that there are two different rates for each of the three hotels. The first rate includes room and breakfast, the second includes room only. Please keep in mind that a buffet breakfast will be provided at the conference on both days. Staying in Leganés If any conference attendees choose to stay in Leganés, edX recommends the TRYP Madrid Leganés Hotel, just a few blocks from the UC3M campus. We toured this hotel and can recommend it, but we are not providing a discounted rate or reserved block of rooms.
