Let’s Get Social!
People primary attend conference for the sessions and speakers. But the networking opportunities are extremely important as well.
And in some cases, even more important – for a variety of reasons.
All Things Open 2023 will include 3 networking socials. All provide a genuinely good opportunity to relax and meet new friends. Check them out below and make plans to attend one or all of them!
*Note, a conference lanyard will be required for entry for each social. No RSVP is necessary. Limited food and beverages will be available at each event.
Sunday, October 15
Welcome Social
The official 2023 Welcome Social will immediately follow programming at the Raleigh Convention Center (programming includes Inclusion & Diversity in Open Source and the Community Leadership Summit).

Time: 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm ET
Location: Sir Walter Raleigh Plaza (front patio of the Convention Center)
Address: 500 S Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601
