Open Everything NYC will take place on Saturday 18 April 2009 at the
UNICEF headquarters in the United Nations Plaza, NYC. The event will
run the full day, registration will open at 8:00AM and things will be
in full swing by 9:00AM.
The event will be 100% free and open to the public on a first come
first serve basis, online pre-registration is required. The main hall
can hold up to 250 guests.
The event will consist of two keynote presentations (one opening & one
closing) each of about 1 hour in duration. In the time between the two
keynotes attendees will be in control of the program (Barcamp style).
There will be a number of conference rooms available for individuals
to hold talks & discussions on topics they see fit. Past events have
included topics such as Open Publishing, Open Education, Government
Transparency, Open Access, Open Research Data, Creative Commons, Open
Hardware, and more.

> Open Everything is a global conversation about the art, science and spirit of 'open'. It gathers people using openness to create and improve software, education, media, philanthropy, architecture, neighbourhoods, workplaces and the society we live in: everything. It's about thinking, doing and being open.
Open Everything was started by a few people back in the beginning of
2008, and it has grown to include events in cities around the world.
New York is going to be the next and we'd be delighted if you would
participate.
