Home - The Open Co-op

This year, OPEN 2019 will be a smaller gathering and a mixture of online webinars, Q&As and opportunities for collaboration, as well as some offline, London based presentations, discussions and "beer to beer learning" opportunities :)

Let's join the dots between all the organisations and communities that are working on building a new, regenerative economy - by acknowledging the shared purpose of our movement - and collaborate on a scale never seen before to build a world of abundance and equity for all.

Check out the EVENTS CALENDAR and let us know if you would like to add an event.
