OpenUK’s State of Open Subset are weekly digital talks across 10 weeks per season. Season One begins on Tuesday 25 April at 3pm UK and Season Two on Wednesday 20 September at 3pm UK.
These one hour digital sessions include topics across the 7 tracks from State of Open Con, allowing some of the speakers who didn’t manage to speak at SOOCon23 or to cover topics that we didn’t dive deep into at the conference. We intend for this to repeat on an annual basis.
