How Kenes Digital Education Is Transforming Professional Development

For decades, medical education revolved around annual congresses, printed abstracts, and sporadic webinars. Today, healthcare professionals expect something very different: continuous learning, on-demand access, interactive formats, and accredited education that fits seamlessly into their clinical routine.
Kenes Digital Education, together with its flagship platform, UNLOK, is at the centre of this transformation.
Built on the foundation of 60 years of Kenes Group leadership in scientific events, the Digital Education division is redefining how societies, industry partners, and clinicians access, share, and apply medical knowledge throughout the year. The result is a new educational ecosystem that is accessible, accredited, evidence-based, and shaped for the way healthcare professionals learn today.
A Strategic Pillar of the Kenes Group Vision
While Kenes Group is globally recognised for delivering world-class medical and scientific congresses, Kenes Digital Education extends this expertise far beyond the in-person meeting.
Its mandate is clear: turn episodic congress experiences into continuous, year-round and free learning journeys.
Digital education plays a vital role in the broader Kenes strategy by:
- creating ongoing engagement before, during, and after congresses
- supporting societies with branded academies, hubs, and portals
- enabling long-term, year-round knowledge retention
- expanding global reach beyond those who can attend in person
- providing accredited education to tens of thousands of clinicians
Through hubs like ATTD, WSPID, AD/PD, Autoimmunity, CaReMeLO, and more, Kenes Digital ensures that the scientific impact of each congress continues long after attendees return home.
With digital academies, webinars, podcasts, and e-learning modules, Kenes Group can now offer its partners a 360-degree educational continuum, uniting live events with enduring online learning.
