CloserStill Media is to acquire Online Educa Berlin, a cross-sector conference on technology-
supported learning and training, from ICWE GMbH for an undisclosed sum. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in Berlin, Germany in 1995, OEB is an annual international conference on technology-supported learning and training (e-learning), welcoming over 2,000 delegates from across the corporate, education and public sectors, and including an exhibition featuring more than 80 international Edtech companies and institutions.
The acquisition will complement CloserStill’s existing event brand, Learning Technologies, which has events in Paris and London.
Commenting on the acquisition and the launch plans for Learning Technologies Germany in 2018 alongside OEB, CloserStill’s learning group director, Mark Penton, said: “We are genuinely excited to bring the highly respected OEB event into our family of market-leading events and to work with its founder Rebecca Stromeyer.
“We see a significant opportunity to evolve OEB into one of Europe’s most important learning events with the introduction of our Learning Technologies brand into the heart of the European marketplace.”
