Testimonials
Educator
I was very impressed by this event in terms of the venue, organisation and networking possibilities and I was delighted to have a large summer booking confirmed before I even got to the airport. Since then two more groups from different agents have confirmed for 2019. This was my second ICEF event, and I have since signed up for three more over the coming year. Thanks to everyone in the ICEF team!
- Chris McDermott, Broadstairs English Centre, UKEducator
It is always exciting to attend ICEF events due to the quality of the participants. This time I met current partners and correlated our relationship among the many opportunities offered throughout the event. The quality of new contacts was impressive.
- Cristhina Starke, New Mexico Military Institute, USAEducator
I was impressed by the attention to detail. This is the sign of a very professional organisation! Of course it is very big, but it is exclusive and brings interestingpossibilities. It is the event of events.
- Eugene Murphy, Language Learning International, IrelandEducator
This was my second Berlin conference and I am continually impressed by the professionalism and organisation of the event. The sessions were informative and helpful, as was the opportunity to connect with agencies. I will continue to attend these events.

We had a good experience and look forward to hearing back from some of the folks we made solid connections with during the conference.
- Francine Chemnick, University of San Diego, USAEducator
ICEF continues to deliver a service unmatched elsewhere in the industry, one that targets our needs specifically. Berlin 2018 was a fantastic way to kick off our reach into the international market. Well done.
