Dear Actionbound-community,
2024 was an exciting year for us, full of encounters, events, and of course, thrilling Bounds. Together with you, we were once again able to push the boundaries of interactive learning and demonstrate on many occasions that Actionbound brings fun on various levels! Here’s a review of our highlights of the year:
(Tip: Make sure you read to the end for a sneak peek into the future of Actionbound, it's worth it 😉!)
Events in focus: Didacta, COCON24, and Learntec
This year’s Didacta took us to Cologne in February, this time only as visitors. At Europe’s largest education fair, we played the role of observers, taking a closer look at key players in the educational landscape and trying out various tools and applications ourselves. Under the motto "The future of education – Get involved!", the interview with North Rhine-Westphalia’s Education Minister Dorothee Feller and the panel talk on "Crisis prevention through historical-political education" provided us with valuable new insights. Such off-the-job workdays remind us of the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the industry to continue enhancing Actionbound.
In May, under glorious sunshine, we headed to Offenbach for our debut at the Copetri Convention (COCON24). Here, we not only had our own booth but also, in collaboration with Copetri, offered a rallye across the entire event. This Bound aimed to let participants experience all aspects of the event: from the outdoor area with numerous participation opportunities, through exciting panel talks, to quiz questions about the event. We concluded by raffling off three wonderful prizes among the participants, with the winners receiving an Apple Watch, a Patagonia travel backpack, and a Blackroll. If you want to enhance your event with a Bound, feel free to reach out to us 😉.
As they say, all good things come in threes, our final event of the year was Learntec in Karlsruhe– the event we look forward to the most to be honest! Since this year, you could find us in Hall 2 at booth L3, and we inaugurated our new location with style. As usual, we had our cozy sofa for relaxing and playing Bounds, and of course, our popular Actionbound popcorn! Additionally, at the school@Learntec, we gave a thrilling presentation titled "Digital learning methods should be fun for everyone – not just learners!", which was attended by many interested individuals. By the way, we’ll be at Learntec again in 2025. Will you be there too? If so, feel free to stop by!
Team retreat in Schochwitz: Exciting workshops and team building
For the fourth time, we met for our team retreat in a castle in Salzatal, Saxony-Anhalt. Alongside productive workshops on topics like "Design Thinking" and "Business Storytelling," we were once again impressed by the culinary skills of our friend and “Schochwitz private chef” Prosper Castell. If there’s one thing our team loves, it's all kinds of games and quizzes but also shared meals! We’re already looking forward to the 2025 menu 🍝.
Online courses, workshops and consultings
This year, we really went all out, hosting an impressive number of courses, workshops, and consultations – both online and in person. Especially the in-person events always stand out positively, as we particularly love the combination of the digital and real world (what a surprise!). We’re already very excited to work on new exciting projects with you in 2025!
Looking ahead: We have big plans for 2025
We don’t want to reveal too much yet, but one thing is certain: you can look forward to a visual transformation of Actionbound throughout the upcoming year 🎉. We can’t wait to give you more updates on that, stay tuned!
Thank you and happy holidays!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you, our fantastic community. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and creativity drive us every day. We wish you a restful holiday season, much joy with your loved ones, and a great start into the new year! Here’s to a wonderful 2025 – we look forward to many great Bounds with you!
Your Actionbound-team 🧡
