The program consists of talks, workshops and meet ups. As there are different time zones, we cater to this by creating a program going for full and half days on different parts of the day. Plus, all sessions are recorded and are available for rewatch until at least the end of September 2024.
Rewatch for LXDCON'24
Winner of the game jam!
June 11, 12, 13 & 14 2024
Because of this year’s theme Let’s Play, we couldn’t resist hosting a game jam. If you are not familiar with the concept:
A game jam is a collaborative event where participants create video games within a short, fixed timeframe, often centered around a specific theme. These events encourage creativity, innovation, and rapid prototyping.
During LXDCON’24, we hosted LXD Jam 24. Participants created a learning experience within 4 days!
Theme: CLOSER TOGETHER

This year's theme
Let's Play!
Play is such a natural and powerful form of human behavior.
From early on, we use play as kids to develop our social, emotional, and cognitive skills. You might think that we play less as we grow older and more serious, but that’s not completely true. Adults love playing mobile games, console games and board games. Do you know the average age of gamers? It’s 35!
We love to play, and we love to learn. That’s why LXDCON’24 is all about using (elements of) play, games, and gamification to design incredible learning experiences. Both theoretical and practical aspects will be covered as you level up your LXD skills.
Play is such a versatile theme. Here’s a sneak peek into this year’s topics:
- When is a playful solution a serious option?
- What makes games great for learning?
- What does it take to design and develop an actual game?
- How are LXD and game design related?
History of LXDCON
We started in 2016
What started as a local and small afternoon surrounding learning experience design in 2016, has grown into an annual conference that has had: 3 local LXDCON in Singapore, 4 local LXDCON in the Netherlands and 4 virtual LXDCON.
Hosting online since 2020, has given the opportunity for everyone to join no matter where they are located.
