The ICEF China Workshop
Meet quality student recruitment agents from China, Asia and the rest of the world
Grand Millennium Beijing • October 14 – 16, 2009
The ICEF China Workshop is the largest and by far the most international student recruitment workshop of its kind in Asia. It is a must attend for those interested in benefiting from market growth trends in the region.
China is the largest supplier of international students in the world and has also become the 6th largest education destination. Other Asian countries such as India, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia rank in the top 15 countries sending students overseas.
Reflecting these conditions in the Chinese and Asian education markets, the ICEF China Workshop has a dual inbound and outbound focus. The workshop will provide value to:
- International educators (universities, vocational schools, secondary schools, language schools) wishing to meet with quality agents from China and Asia, as well as from the rest of the world
- Chinese educators wishing to meet with quality international education agents
Agents are carefully screened and pre-selected by ICEF. Of the 231 attending agents in 2008, 40% came from China and 45% from other Asian countries, with strong representation from Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam and Hong Kong.
In addition to one-to-one appointments with agents and providers, the programme also enables meetings between Chinese and international educators, in recognition of the many opportunities available in China for exchange programmes, twinning arrangements and other partnerships. In 2008 this feature allowed international educators to meet with 30 Chinese universities in attendance.
The ICEF China Workshop provides an ideal forum for professional networking that can be further extended through direct promotion to prospective Chinese students via the China Education Expo, taking place on October 17 - 18 immediately after the ICEF China Workshop.
