CloserStill Makes Third Acquisition of 2017 with Purchase of Online Educa Berlin

Since buying Bizmedia in 2014, the CloserStill appetite for acquisition has grown steadily which has allowed them to expand their product brand in the eLearning market, with the recent purchase of Online Educa Berlin adding not only the OEB Conference, but also allowing the launch of Learning Technologies Germany.

This years deals has given CloserStill the opportunity to extend the Learning Technologies Conference brand into Asia and France, with the current deal allowing them to launch Learning Technologies Germany alongside OEB in 2018.

Financial details have not been revealed.
