Learning in Motion 2025: the event where the future of learning takes shape

With technological innovations such as AI, a changing job market and rising employee expectations, HR and L&D professionals face new strategic questions. How do you keep learning relevant for employees? How do you encourage ownership over development? And how do you adapt learning offerings to an increasingly diverse workforce and new demands from the organization?

This is precisely why SkillsTown is organizing the most inspiring learning festival of the year again this year, but in a new guise: Learning in Motion. A new name, a fresh vision, and a new theme: Crafting the Future of Development.

From Learnfest to Learning in Motion: more than a name change

If you are familiar with SkillsTown's previous editions of Learnfest, you know that we are not talking about a standard conference. No endless PowerPoint presentations, but dynamism, interaction and experience. So the move to Learning in Motion makes sense: learning is never static. It moves, develops and adapts, just like us!

It is an event where theory is directly linked to application. And where you not only gain new insights, but especially go home with ideas that you can use immediately in your organization.

This year's theme: Crafting the Future of Development

What will learning look like in 2026 - and beyond? Based on the central theme Crafting the Future of Development, on Tuesday, September 16, we will dive into the future of work and learning. With keynotes by innovators, interactive workshops by experienced colleagues and plenty of space to share knowledge with like-minded people.

What to expect:

• Keynotes from leading experts
  What happens in our brains when we learn? And how do we know? Neurobiologist and philosopher Ellen ter Gast shows how neuroscience helps to understand and improve learning processes.Practical workshops and best practices
  You choose which sessions you attend. From setting up a future-oriented learning strategy, relevant AI applications, to building a sustainable learning culture - everything is covered.
• Networking opportunities in an informal setting
  You will meet HR and L&D professionals who, like you, want to work on development. Over lunch, a session or over drinks.
• To close, Ernst-Jan Pfauth, media entrepreneur and author of Intentional Living, gives an inspiring lecture that helps professionals work more effectively and experience greater satisfaction. He shows how to consciously choose meaningful work, reduce distractions and achieve sustainable results with more focus and peace.

Why you, as an HR or L&D professional, must attend.

Whether you're working on onboarding, compliance, upskilling or employer branding, Learning in Motion is all about concrete tools and insights that you can apply immediately.

• Stay ahead in your field:
  Trends in learning and development follow each other at lightning speed. Here's where you'll be the first to hear which trends are relevant - and which are best ignored.
• Meet like-minded individuals and innovators:
  From large corporates to public organizations to high-growth scale-ups, at Learning in Motion you'll connect with professionals who understand your challenges.
• Leave the event with action items, not notes:
  Thanks to the interactive nature of the sessions, you are constantly prompted to both reflect and activate. What can you do differently tomorrow?
