OFFBEAT FEST 2025
Live conference
London
9-10 June
Connect with a community of ±300 L&Ds that get it. Share real-life case studies, gain fresh insights, and brainstorm with peers through live sessions and on-demand resources.
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.

Skye Suttie, Senior Manager Organizational & Learning Development at Openly
It doesn't matter where you come from, as long as you're someone who works in supporting others in growing.
Find a network that feels like a team. Get the support and feedback you’ve been missing, collaborate with peers, and work through challenges together in a space designed just for L&D professionals.
Oftentimes, L&Ds are like the shoemakers without shoes. We take care of everyone else's learning, and we forget about our own. The fellowship brings you everything you need to learn as well!
Enough with abstract models—let’s get hands-on. Access real case studies, practical tools, and actionable advice you can implement right away in your role.
Our fellows come from:
Tired of endless theory? Explore real examples that show what actually works in L&D, so you can skip the guesswork and make an impact faster.

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!

Have a question or stuck on a decision? Tap into a network of L&D pros ready to share insights, offer inspiration, and help you overcome challenges in real time.
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.

I feel like I got the perfect match there! We have been speaking of my projects mostly and his advice has been supervaluable and taken further in more than 2 of the areas I'm responsible for.

Still not convinced you should join us? Here are some questions we've received along the way.
Once you've been accepted, you'll receive an invite to our private Slack community. Here you'll meet fellow L&Ds, freelancers, and other cool people doing cool things. You'll also be able to ask questions and jam with alumni and mentors in our channels (think #askaboutld, #askbeyondld). There is always someone to help answers your questions and something new to learn. You'll also get access to our Fellowship Hub, where you'll find recordings, high-quality curated content, and other goodies.
The Fellowship doesn't include a mentor. When you join, you will unlock a discount for our membership program, in case you'll ever look for 1:1 support.
Most of our sessions are scheduled during evening, CET. This is time-zone friendly for both PST and EST, but not as much for APAC. We're working to spread sessions during the day, so that we can accommodate more time-zones.
Imagine it like this. Out of all business functions, People or L&D Teams tend to be the most overlooked when it comes to their learning & development and career support. Through Offbeat you'll have continuous support for all your on-going projects so you can take them to the next level + career development support. If you learn, they win!
