OEB has announced the highly anticipated agenda for OEB 2023. This marks the 29th edition of the seminal conference that serves as a melting pot for cross-industry experts, thought leaders, and visionaries in the realm of digital learning and training.

This year's theme, "The Learning Futures We Choose," delves deep into pressing questions at the heart of digital education. Will humanity harness technology to design its learning future, or be led into a dystopian world where Big Tech calls the shots? The conference aims to unravel the complexities of technological advances and their ethical implications on future learning.

Featuring an extraordinary lineup of keynote speakers, the event promises to ignite discussions that address pivotal questions: Who will control the future of learning? Can technology empower us to redefine the future of education, or will it chain us to a path determined by data and AI?

Astrid Jaeger, OEB Event Director, commented, "As we navigate through the turbulence of technological revolution, OEB 2023 aims to be the epicenter for thought-provoking dialogue. We want to explore how we, as global citizens, can seize the reins of technological change to co-create a future of learning - a future designed by humans, for humans."

OEB 2023 invites participants from academia, industry, and government sectors to join in shaping the future narrative of digital education and training.
