Events by ODN Europe

The ODN Europe Conference in Aberdeen is the premier gathering for Organization Development (OD) practitioners, HR leaders, and change agents across the continent. Set in the "Energy Capital of Europe," this event focuses on the intersection of organizational design and the rapidly shifting global landscape. As industries in the UK and Europe face unprecedented transitions—from digital transformation to the pursuit of Net Zero—this conference provides the tools, psychological frameworks, and narrative strategies necessary to lead effectively. The 2026 program, titled "Navigating Complexity," dives deep into systemic change. Attendees will explore how to rebuild trust in organizations facing crisis, how to utilize "Warm Data" to understand human dynamics, and how to harness the power of storytelling to drive cultural evolution. Unlike traditional corporate seminars, ODN Europe emphasizes experiential learning. Participants will engage in "Powerplay" card games to explore workplace dynamics and join "Storytelling Labs" to practice reframing organizational blockers into generative questions. With a focus on both theory and practice, the event offers a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse community of professionals dedicated to making organizations healthier and more effective. Whether you are an internal consultant or an external change strategist, this conference offers a slice of high-level academic theory combined with practical, boots-on-the-ground application.
