One ship. One afternoon. Hot L&D topics worth showing up for.
Welcome to the first A Taste of Learning event in Rotterdam. Sit next to an L&D peer facing the same problem you are, and you'll leave with a better answer than you came with and real connections in your field.

A Taste of Learning sets sail
Step aboard for a day built around two things: real stories and real debate. Hear how Mediq built learning that works across 14 countries, then jump into a live session where the room argues out what's actually working in L&D right now, not theory, not slides.
P.S. Our crew is still charting the course and mixing the perfect e-Learning cocktail below deck. The rest of the program will be revealed in the upcoming weeks!

🎤 Sharing knowledge is multiplying knowledge with Marlène Wolf-Bergijk from Mediq
How do you build learning that works across countries, teams, and changing business needs?
In this session, Marlène shares Mediq's learning journey and reflects on the challenges, successes, and lessons learned along the way. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in L&D, she'll discuss what worked, what didn't, and how the role of learning is evolving. She reflects on the lessons learned for herself, for the organization, and for the future of the L&D profession. Her story perfectly reflects her personal motto: "Sharing knowledge is multiplying knowledge."
🎤 Challenge the future of Learning & Development
This session runs on provocations, not facts. AI will replace instructional designers. Self-study doesn't work without accountability. A 50-person company and a 5,000-person company need nothing alike when it comes to e-Learning.
Agree? Disagree? Let's hear it. This is a fully interactive session, no lecture, no slides to sit through, just a room full of L&D peers debating these claims and deciding together.
You'll walk away with a sharper take on the decisions you're already facing, and a network of people wrestling with the exact same questions.
