Robin Shohet, Sandra & John Wilson: Celebrating 15 years of Onlinevents

Robin Shohet with Sandra & John Wilson:Celebrating 15 Years of Digital Learning, Human Connection, and the Future of Practice.

Join Robin Shohet in conversation with Sandra and John Wilson as they reflect on the unfolding story of Onlinevents — from its founding at the first ACTO conference in 2009 to becoming a source of online learning for the helping professions.

For over 15 years, Sandra and John have been at the heart of a powerful shift: how we learn, connect, and grow as practitioners in a rapidly changing digital world. From the early days — when few could imagine using the internet for meaningful development — through the pandemic’s surge in online connection, to today’s landscape shaped by AI and the deepening question of how we preserve genuine human contact. This is more than a retrospective.

It’s a live, values-led reflection on vision, resilience, and what it means to hold the human thread together in times of accelerating change.
