The theme of the conference is: “What’s Next?”

 

The conference will be held on Saturday, April 5th and will run from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM with concurrent sessions throughout the day. We expect to share new experiential exercises and thought-provoking discussions on teaching what matters to our students.

More on the Theme…
We are in conversations regarding the current problems, challenges, and mysteries of our world. It’s important to learn from current observation ("the here and now") as we also learn from our history (the "there and then"). But it might be more necessary to think about what’s next. The future is hard to imagine and as someone once said, "The problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know."
We understand that change is constant and that failure to adapt leads to extinction. Nextgen classes will combine AI-driven personalized learning with immersive technologies like AR and VR. AI might be a tutor that adapts to your learning style in real-time. Collaborative platforms will connect students globally, breaking down geographical and language barriers. These changes offer new ways to do experiential learning and create the next models of experiential conferences.
AI-powered autonomous learning systems are inevitable and so are dramatically different student expectations. Like most new things there are threats and opportunities, especially for experiential learning.
The focus of MOBTC-2025 will be to learn new  ways to engage our students. We can also share some of our successes and frustrations in trying to know what we don’t know. All that will create a place for interesting conversations and the chance to learn new and immediately useful ideas.

Our challenge: How do we shape courses and experiential learning to stimulate thinking and engage whatever is next?

MOBTC is interested in your ideas and energy for these questions and others. The theme is a guideline, and we are open to good ideas from all perspectives. As always, our goal is “hands-on” demonstrations and “learning by doing.” If you would like feedback or suggestions for developing a proposal, contact anyone on our Program Committee.
