ILIAS Conference 2025 – Call for Participation
We would like to invite all ILIAS users, and all those who are interested in e-learning generally, to actively help shape the programme of the 24th ILIAS Conference, which will be held this year in Berlin. Submit your programme contributions, your knowledge, know-how and expertise, and share it with the ILIAS community.
The motto for this year's conference is 'Future Skills with ILIAS: Learning, Networking, Creating'.
Future skills connect all users of ILIAS, whether in educational institutions, businesses or higher education. Together we need to develop the skills that are important in a digitally transformed future. With ILIAS, we want to help strengthen these competencies.
Use the conference as a platform to share your insights and successes with other participants, to inspire others with creative solutions and innovative use scenarios and to develop new ideas. Regardless of whether you are new to ILIAS or an experienced user, we look forward to every contribution that gets conversation going and helps contribute to the further development of ILIAS and its community.
Show how ILIAS creates added value by presenting creative designs, unconventional use scenarios, practical examples or proven concepts for success. Discuss your ideas with the community and help actively shape the future of ILIAS.
Submit your contribution
