Event programme & meetings

This 1.5-day event begins with a wealth of valuable networking opportunities, including a session on strategic networking and a selection of interactive, roundtable discussions. This is followed by a welcome reception, giving attendees the opportunity to continue networking into the evening, sharing experiences with their peers and interacting with agents in a more relaxed setting. 

On the second day, attendees can build their own personalised programme of up to 24 one-to-one meetings, connecting with quality, accredited education agents from around the world to achieve their internationalisation goals.
