In December 2026, Berlin will once again host one of the most established and internationally respected gatherings in digital education: OEB Global Conference.
Taking place from December 2–4, 2026, OEB (Online Educa Berlin) has for more than three decades served as a meeting ground for universities, policymakers, corporations, startups, and international organizations.
If LEARNTEC is a technology showcase, OEB is a forum for ideas.
📍 Where education, technology, and policy converge
OEB stands out for its strong international and interdisciplinary orientation. Participants include:
- public decision-makers
- university leaders and academic directors
- digital education experts
- HR strategists
- research centers and EdTech innovators
The focus is not only on solutions, but on the broader cultural, social, and economic implications of digital transformation.
🔎 Key themes for 2026
The 2026 edition will be shaped by a critical question: what kind of educational model does Europe need in a time of technological, geopolitical, and demographic change?
Main discussion pillars
Education and European competitiveness
The role of digital and transversal skills in the EU’s long-term development strategy.

It is particularly strategic for organizations operating in international or public-sector contexts.
🧭 In short
