The second annual Open Texas conference once again convened librarians, faculty, administrators, and other open education practitioners and advocates in Texas and beyond. The 2022 conference was held fully online via the Cvent conference platform and was FREE to attend.​
​
The conference theme, "The Labor of Open Education," invited participants to reflect on the work, creativity, art, and science of open education.
