Ben Bagshaw, Kaplan Business School, Australia We've just launched our study abroad programme. So, the main focus for us is to connect with European and Latin agents, and discuss this kind of new variation on the course that we do. That's not the only reason - being in Australia, we come here quite often to meet partners that we've had for many years. For me personally, I get to see people from all over the world in one location. It's a great time saver and, again, getting to reconnect with those relationships that otherwise would take weeks and months to be able to visit everybody individually.

Alice Heywood, The Stephen Perse Foundation, United Kingdom I've never been to an ICEF event before, none of the small ones, and I've heard that ICEF Berlin is the global event where everyone comes to celebrate international student education. So, I felt, if you are going to to, go big. So, we came here to meet as many people as we could, and to find out as much as we could as we explore the international market further.

As an education provider, ICEF events (and more specifically ICEF Berlin), allow us to meet worldwide agents in a professional, but also friendly environment. The place to be to have new contacts, but also to strengthen ties.

As always, ICEF knocked it out of the park with another fantastic conference in Berlin! It’s impossible to describe how valuable it is to be together with so many friends, colleagues, and partners from around the world, all under one roof. Thank you ICEF team.

It is my annual pleasure to visit the ICEF Berlin event to meet partners whom we already know, and to find those who will bring new potential. As the saying goes, it is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
