ICEF South East Asia was beautifully organised, the quality of agents was top, and the venue and gala dinner were just perfect. We are already seeing the results of our meetings with agents and couldn't be happier.

It provided a great opportunity to meet and connect with many new contacts and potential partners, all in one place. It really eliminates the hassle of reaching out to institutions one by one and the uncertainty of not connecting with real, qualified leads. Overall, it was a very productive experience, and I would definitely attend again.

The ICEF events are very important to the strategy, because they link me with all the agents that I could ever wish for, more than I could ever wish for. And even if I only get, you know, 2 or 3, or even 10% of the agents I meet, that's plenty for me to work with and to go for.

Ibrahim Mustafa, BSC Education, United Kingdom Definitely, we receive benefits beyond the screening, because we meet the agents on the ground at the event, and we do the 1-2-1 with the agents. We attend the seminars there's a lot of insightful seminars that ICEF present on the first day. And then of course, at the event obviously, we start to sign up the agents; work collaboratively with those agents, and then build that kind of relationship beyond the events. And also, that would lead to our building that long-term relationship, and building that student number that we need particular region.
