This event will take place after the success of the Open edX Universities Symposium in DC (http://iblstudios.com/brightest-minds-in-higher-education-participated-in-the-first-open-edx-universities-symposium), organized by the same team.

This short, welcoming event –free of sales pitches– will include 10 minute brief talks, along with a round-table discussion and networking. Paul S Berman will moderate the panel.

This event will be live broadcasted and open to outside participation. All of the talks will be filmed and distributed throughout the Open edX community.

Our third Open edX meetup will be sponsored by McKinsey Academy, WeWork and IBL.

Access is free, although seats are limited. Beer and pizza will be served.
