Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Global Learning Conference?

What makes the Global Learning Conference unique?

Unlike traditional education conferences, the Global Learning Conference takes a systemic, interdisciplinary approach to reimagining and shaping the future of learning. It combines bold ideas with actionable solutions aimed at tangible impact at scale, fosters collaboration across sectors and generations, and emphasizes the interconnected nature of sustainability, AI, and education. The event’s location in the heart of the Swiss Alps further creates an inspiring environment for deep reflection and creative problem-solving.

What sets this conference apart from other education-focused events?

Unlike education, learning is lifelong. It happens through formal education, but also before and beyond it — whether in the workplace, through personal growth, or in informal settings. Learning is universal, amenable to rapid and broad adoption and improvement through cutting-edge technologies, and important for all, from individuals to governments, startups, and industries. This broader perspective allows us to explore the future of learning and its implications across multiple sectors, including but not limited to education.

We believe in fostering intergenerational collaboration and interdisciplinary dialogue. Global challenges impact all levels of education, from early childhood to higher education and lifelong learning. However, opportunities for collaboration across these levels are rare. By bridging these gaps, we enable a systems-level approach to learning and thus facilitate systems change and transformation.
