Our goal is to provide you with hands-on learning experiences, networking opportunities, and a space to explore topics that are important to career growth, but aren’t often discussed in formal education settings. The summit will be hosted on September 23 and 24th.

The best way to prepare for Open Access is to review the program agenda and check out more information about out speakers and sessions

This StudentSpot Community post is a special place for you to share ideas, questions, and takeaways throughout the summit!
