Abstract
Inspired after offering a WFOT 2010 Congress workshop about online technology, a group of six occupational therapy educators from five countries organized a free, round-the-clock, online occupational therapy conference celebrating World Occupational Therapy Day. Over 90 speakers from diverse places and practice areas, at different points in their occupational therapy careers, have presented at this now yearly conference. This presentation will review outcomes of the initiative, what organisers learned in undertaking it and suggest future possibilities for learning together online.
