Humanity in the Intelligent Age:
Empathy, Responsibility, and the Duty of Care

Home Intro

As OEB enters its 31st year, it remains at the forefront of shaping the future of learning. Since 1995, the conference has brought together education, technology, and learning professionals from across six continents, making it a truly global hub for innovation and dialogue.

In 2025, OEB tackles the challenges and opportunities of the Intelligent Age, where AI and automation are reshaping education, work, and society. At the heart of this transformation lies a crucial question: how do we ensure that technology serves humanity, rather than the other way around?

This year’s conference will ignite debate on empathy, responsibility, and the duty of care - examining how learning can empower individuals, foster critical thinking, and strengthen human connection in an era of rapid change.

Each year, OEB welcomes policymakers, business leaders, educators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and learning professionals from over 70 countries. With thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic discussions, and hands-on workshops, it is the place where higher education meets workplace learning, policy meets practice, and technology meets human potential.

Join us in shaping an educational future where innovation expands possibilities, technology enhances learning, and people remain at the centre of progress.
