OEB 2024 is the global, cross-sector conference on technology-supported learning and training. Each year, OEB facilitates dialogue and collaboration between high-level decision-makers from the education, business, and government sectors, pushing the boundaries of EdTech and learning technology. Over the course of this two-day event, attendees will encounter the latest innovations and insights that are shaping the future of digital learning.

OEB 2024 offers a platform for anyone seeking to harness the potential of new technologies, develop pivotal policies, or drive forward the conversation about the digital revolution in education.

In an era defined by climate change, global conflicts, and democracies under pressure, the roles of learning and education are increasingly vital. Education, historically a foundation of hope and progress, now faces the challenge of staying relevant and effective in a rapidly changing world. This situation highlights the urgency for a significant shift in the approach to learning, moving towards an anti-fragile mindset where professionals not only withstand but also grow stronger from the challenges and changes of today.
