The Learning Unconference

The Learning Unconference 2025 is not your typical event - it's an all-day gathering designed to empower participants like you to take charge of your learning journey.

What to expect:

Emergent learning: No pre-defined agenda. No keynotes. Just you, your peers, and the topics that matter most to you.

Collaborative problem solving: Engage in open discussions, share challenges, and co-create solutions with fellow learning professionals.

Idea generation: Spark creativity and innovation as we collectively explore new concepts and approaches.

Reflective practice: Take time to reflect on your own practice, gain insights, and refine your approaches and strategies.

The day will begin with us all co-creating the agenda. Through a gently facilitated process we work together to propose topics, questions or challenges we want to explore - then we'll shape the day's sessions around what matters most to everyone in the room.

Whether you're seeking advice, sharing experiences, or looking for inspiration, this event is your space to connect, explore and grow. Everyone is welcome - whether you're working in an organisation, as an external professional working with clients or even looking to move into the learning profession.

Your unconference ticket includes: unlimited tea, coffee and cold drinks; delicious fresh lunch; unlimited fruit and snacks plus an afternoon ice cream break!

Don't miss this opportunity to get an experience shaped just for you. Book your ticket today and be part of an inspiring day of collaboration and learning!
