This event, held to celebrate Open Access Week 2012, features a variety of speakers talking about all aspects of the open access and open data agendas. Open Access Week 2012 takes place at a time when open access is a particularly hot topic, in light of the widely-reported Finch Report on widening access to research outputs, and the recently updated RCUK policy on open access.

The event features a series of speakers, each addressing a separate open access-related topic. Confirmed speakers and the day's schedule are as follows:
