OEB Global brings you to the forefront of learning technology developments. The event has a unique, cross-sector focus, fostering exchange on the use of new technologies in learning and training in the corporate, education, and public service sectors.

OEB’s pre-conference workshops are hosted by edtech leaders and practitioners and take place on 27 November, the day before the main conference.

The workshops cover a wide variety of edtech topics such as the classroom of the future; forecasting methods for the future of education; designing value-based L&D roadmaps; storytelling for strategic academic innovation; creating video for teaching and learning; podcasting production; mixed reality – implementing VR and AR scenarios; rethinking educational systems; developing chatbots for learning; designing an escape room for educators; learning design; personalisation and adaptive learning; serious gaming; and much more.

OEB event organiser, Astrid Jaeger, said, "The 2019 pre-conference workshops offer something for everyone involved in education technology. They provide delegates with practical ways to discover the future of learning."

In total there are twenty pre-conference sessions for which delegates can sign up: six full day workshops, six morning workshops, and eight afternoon workshops. Some are free to attend, and some have a fee. The 2018 programme was fully booked, and seats for the 2019 pre-conference programme are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
