 TLN Unconference at the
​2025 Badge Summit! 

Monday morning will kick off with the TLN Unconference at the Badge Summit. Taking the place of pre-conference workshops, our collaborators at the Trusted Learner Network organize a convening unlike any other in the digital credentials space. The unconference format means that the agenda is created on-site and in real time based on what you, the attendees, want to explore. ​

They’ll also host their Mid-Year Meeting, where attendees will get updates on their most exciting projects, including Experience You, the LER & Skills-Based Hiring Toolkit, LinkedClaims, Competency Explorer, and more!
