Thank you for submitting a pre-conference workshop proposal for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Global Conference, The Hague 2025, to be held 23 - 25 October 2025 at the World Forum in The Hague, Netherlands.

Full-day pre-conference workshops will take place on Thursday, 23 October from 9:00am–3:00pm. Taking breaks and lunch into account, there will be 5 hours of teaching time.

  Pre-conference workshops are designed for educators seeking to enhance their professional and leadership skills.

These sessions are led by IB workshop leaders, and senior IB staff, and they are expected to include a variety of teaching strategies and interactive experiences with adult learners in mind.

Accepted primary workshop presenters will receive travel, hotel accommodations (up to four nights) and complimentary conference registration. Co-presenters will receive 100 USD discount off of the main conference standard registration fee.
