OFFBEAT FEST 2025
Live conference
London
9-10 June
Offbeat is where L&D practitioners learn from each other, through events, research o hands-on support from our team.
Our in-person L&D conferences in London and Bucharest, built around real case studies and peer conversations.
Hands down already the best conference I've been to and we're not even like halfway through the first day. Really interactive and not as sterile as most conferences are. I feel like I'm actually making genuine connections, I'm having fun and I feel comfortable but also pushed out of my comfort zone in a really approachable way.
Bring us in to help your team rethink its role, sharpen its practices or get inspired about what's next.

Join 400 L&D practitioners who meet, swap notes and help each other get unstuck all year round.
The support from this community has set the highest of bars for all other L&D groups I'm in (I'm completely biased). I know I can come to this community and ask anything (seriously, all the things!) and will always get a reply or resources and it helps me to feel connected to others.
I benefit massively from the Offbeat community. I was a solo L&D professional and this community gave me the validation that what I was designing and wanting to implement was on a good track. The knowledge sharing is just beautiful and a good example on how we can learn from peers.
Offbeat is a platform that truly stands out for L&D professionals. Their programs are well-structured, designed to challenge the old ways of working and show you a new, better way of doing learning. Actually, it’s more than just learning—it’s about self-discovery, skill development, and being part of a community that’s eager to help you grow.
Just saw the recording of this session. It really inspired me for the AI upskilling program I might need to design for my company. Thanks a lot!
The very well chunked process and the extremely effective method of facilitation to guide us through the process and get to envision the whole thing end to end in just 2h. Amazing design, content and facilitation! Thank you soooo much. Masterful!
Such a great session! Thanks for sharing, I'll rewatch for sure!

The book Lavinia wished she had when she started her journey in L&D.
Lavinia Mehedințu’s new book is smart, practical, and forward-looking. She recognizes that L&D has a much bigger role to play and challenges us to think bigger about our role—as behavioral designers, systems thinkers, and critically as facilitators of organizational change.
Lavinia Mehedințu brings a deeply practical lens to making L&D more meaningful and business-relevant. Her book is for anyone who wants to rethink outdated ways of working and focus more clearly on the impact L&D can create.
Small, free meetups where L&D people get together locally. Find one near you, or start one yourself.
