LEARNTEC Karlsruhe Rheinstetten

LEARNTEC Karlsruhe in Rheinstetten is Europe’s premier trade fair and conference dedicated to digital education. Since its inception in 1992, it has become a key meeting point for professionals in e-learning and knowledge management. The name LEARNTEC – short for "Learning with Technology" – clearly reflects the event’s mission: harnessing modern technology to promote learning across schools, universities, and the professional sphere.

Held annually at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre in Rheinstetten, the event is organized by Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH (KMK), a well-established organizer with deep roots in the region and a strong commitment to innovation and education. As the flagship event for digital learning, LEARNTEC attracts a highly qualified international audience, including decision-makers from business and government, educators, researchers, and technology providers.

What sets LEARNTEC apart is its depth of content and focus on current developments. The accompanying conference addresses major topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in education, immersive learning environments using virtual and augmented reality, the metaverse as a space for learning, connected learning ecosystems, agile learning formats for the future workplace, data literacy, ethical considerations, sustainability in education, and performance management for measurable learning outcomes. The emphasis is always on practical applications and forward-looking technologies.

At the trade fair, companies from sectors including IT, education, consulting, corporate learning, and public administration showcase their latest products and services – from innovative learning platforms and e-learning tools to authoring systems and customized professional development solutions. Visitors can expect valuable interactions with leading experts, high-level presentations, live demonstrations of the latest technologies, and insights into real-world implementations. The program is further enhanced by LEARNTEC xChange, a free online format focusing on corporate learning, digital universities, schools, and early childhood education.

Karlsruhe as a location reinforces the innovative spirit of the event. As one of Germany’s most digitally advanced cities and home to numerous universities, research institutions, and tech companies, it offers ideal conditions for a trade fair that approaches digital education in a holistic way. The venue itself is state-of-the-art, well connected by road and public transport, and easily accessible.

LEARNTEC is more than just a trade fair – it is a future lab for education: relevant, pioneering, and essential for anyone committed to actively shaping the digital transformation of learning.
