OSPOs for Good 2024
OSPOs for Good 2024
Event Description
The second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium is set to be a multi-day conference held on 9th and 10th July 2024, with a richer global presence of diverse open source thinkers, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good.
By building on the success of last year*s event, the goal of the 2024 conference is to be &bigger and better* in every way. This action symposium aims to serve as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy, as well as highlighting emerging examples of &open source for good* from across the globe. It will prominently highlight the theme of &open source networks as enablers of global cooperation*.
While the 2024 conference will of course focus on the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) like last year*s event, this conference will expand the scope to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs are enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries.
