CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

OpenMRS community members who usually travel to our host-country might suffer from jet lag. With a virtual conference, we're working on a schedule that accommodates most time zones - without any need to suffer from "virtual jet lag!" Conference days will begin at 1pm UTC and the last session will end at 6pm UTC.

Unconferencing Overview + Topic Proposal Sessions

We use an unconferencing format, which means the people attending the conference determine the session topics. There are two ways to propose an unconferencing session topic:

REGISTRATIONS

This year, we're moving OMRS20 to a virtual conference format.

There are still some costs associated with hosting a virtual conference, such as planning services, conference platform, etc. This year's budget comes to ~$16k. This year, we don’t have any set registration fees. To remain cost-neutral, we're asking that everyone who registers to pay what they wish. This means that you can pay as little or as much as you want. If you can’t pay anything right now, that’s fine - you are more than welcome! If you can pay something, we really appreciate it as it will help us cover our costs (mainly related to conference planning and logistics).

Whether you pay or not, we still need you to complete a registration form so that we can send you a meeting invitation with conferencing information.
