\"\"<\/a>The world is changing fast and, as machines take over traditional jobs, learning is set to become a central part of human existence. That\u2019s the message experts will deliver at Europe\u2019s top conference on learning and technology, which will be held in Berlin on 5 \u2013 7 December 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of the biggest names in global education, training and technology are scheduled to take part in discussions at OEB Global 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a thrilling opening plenary session, two of the world\u2019s leading innovators and a top economist will discuss how the development of artificial intelligence and other new technologies will change the way we learn and work forever. Anita Schj\u00f8ll Brede, CEO of Iris.ai<\/strong>, one of the most exciting companies in the world in the field of AI, and Faculty at SingularityU Nordic, will join Geoff Mulgan, Chief Executive of Nesta<\/strong>, the UK\u2019s innovation foundation, and Bryan Caplan, Author and Professor of Economics at George Mason University<\/strong>, to examine how employment will change and learning will become a central part of human existence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme of change in life, learning and employment runs through the conference programme,\u201d says conference chair Rebecca Stromeyer. \u201cThere will be sessions on a whole range of themes, reflecting the fact that change is going to happen very fast now, particularly in the workplace, and this is bound to increase the importance of learning and give it a much more central role in all our lives. Companies, organisations and individuals need to understand what is about to happen and plan for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With sessions on themes including: the use of artificial intelligence in learning; skills for the fourth industrial revolution; transformed learning spaces; virtual exchange and collaboration; personalisation and data-driven education; tricks for better learning design; L&D\u2019s role in supporting workplace performance; social learning and employee engagement; bots for education; and spreading innovation in technology-driven societies, it is clear that OEB\u2019s focus this year is firmly on the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The overall theme of the conference is \u2018Learning to love Learning\u2019 and it will highlight the increasing effect of digital transformation and the central role learning is likely to play in everyone\u2019s life in the future. It will also focus on how education itself will have to change to cope with the demands of the future and of tomorrow\u2019s workplace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cEducation and training will have to change radically and very soon,\u201d says Ms Stromeyer. \u201cThere are some big questions facing anyone involved in education. How should education change, so that it can play the leading role the future demands? How can companies, institutions and organisations adapt themselves to the challenge? How will further education keep up with what is likely to be an unceasing demand for new skills? What will happen to higher education? Will there be a new golden age for our universities? These are big questions for us all and I hope that the experts at OEB, who are some of the biggest names in global edTech, will start to provide answers. They\u2019ll certainly launch a really important discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Professor Anders Fl\u00f6dstrom<\/strong> of EIT Digital and KTH Sweden, IT and OER consultant Esther Wojcicki<\/strong> and Ben Williamson<\/strong> of the University of Stirling will try to make out the shape of things to come in a Plenary on the future of education. In other major sessions, speakers will include Ulrich Boser<\/strong>, founder of The Learning Agency; Martin Dougiamas<\/strong>, the founder of Moodle, Miguel Exposito-Verdejo <\/strong>of the European Commission\u2019s Directorate General for International Cooperation and Development, Charles Fadel<\/strong> of the Center for Curriculum Redesign; Will Thalheimer<\/strong>, workplace learning consultant; Corrine Vigreux<\/strong>, cofounder of Codam and TomTom; Cathy Moore<\/strong>, training designer and Karoline Tellum-Djarraya<\/strong>, head of section for Edtech and Innovation at Skills Norway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the first time, Learning Technologies Germany will be fully integrated into the event, ensuring a major focus on employment, skills and workplace learning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This will also be reflected in the accompanying exhibition which will be bigger this year than ever before. The organisers have revealed that more than 100 companies and organisations have already booked space at the exhibition and will be showcasing a range of products, services, courses and solutions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOEB Global is a unique event, not least because it covers all sectors and encourages a dialogue between them,\u201d says Ms Stromeyer. \u201cThis means that you get a really exciting cross-fertilisation of ideas and experience between representatives of the different sectors. And this year, with such a strong focus on change, innovation and the future, it\u2019s likely to be really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n
