Pre & Post Activities
FAM Tours & Receptions
Agent familiarization (FAM) tours and receptions are excellent ways for you to gain exposure and promote your institution and / or association to workshop registered agents.
FAM tours allow you to take advantage of the large number of agents attending the workshop and attract them to visit your institution, campus and region. Effective FAM tours highlight a region and its various education options (universities, colleges, secondary schools, language schools) enabling the agent to increase their product knowledge and bring back first hand experience and information to potential students.

Receptions allow you to host agents in a memorable way while reinforcing your brand. Inviting the agents that you wish to target gives you the chance to make meaningful and focused connections in a relaxed and fun environment.
