As an exhibitor at OEB Global 2024, one of the most significant events in the learning, education, and technology space, Abstract Technology had the privilege of immersing itself in an innovative environment filled with thought leaders, educators, and technologists from all corners of the globe. 

Held in the vibrant city of Berlin, this year's conference and exhibition were nothing short of extraordinary, offering opportunities for networking, collaboration, and, of course, showcasing cutting-edge solutions designed to transform the learning experience.

For Abstract Technology, OEB Global 2024 was more than just an opportunity to display products and services—it was a chance to engage in meaningful conversations about the future of learning technologies and how we can be a part of the next wave of educational evolution.

These gatherings fostered deep dives into important topics such as the future of work, AI in education, personalized learning, and the evolving role of educators in a technology-driven world.

Through these sessions, we gained unique insights into where the industry is heading. A standout moment was the discussion on adaptive learning technologies and the role that artificial intelligence will play in creating hyper-personalized learning environments. It was inspiring to witness the convergence of different sectors — education, corporate learning, government, and tech —working collaboratively to shape the future of education.

The networking opportunities were equally valuable. From informal coffee breaks to structured meetups, we connected with potential partners, clients, and collaborators who share our vision of a more inclusive and effective learning ecosystem. Whether it was discussing possible integrations with existing systems or exploring partnerships for new projects, these connections set the stage for future growth and collaboration.
