In 2026, ICEF Latin America will be held in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most popular destinations in the Southern Hemisphere and the perfect location for this high-profile B2B networking event.
Across the region, education agents play a vital role in helping students find study opportunities outside of their home country. These agents understand the importance of creating and maintaining strong, authentic relationships with students and their families, nurturing connections that have led to substantial growth in outbound student numbers. As a result, countries from across Latin American now feature in the top sending lists for leading study destinations across North America, Europe, and Australasia.
As one of the largest industry networking conferences in Latin America, the event gathers ICEF-screened agents from 15+ countries, along with key decision makers from education and service providers around the world. Highly popular, it enables participants to forge long-lasting professional and personal connections, engaging prospective students from across this diverse and prosperous region.
At ICEF Latin America, you can build your own personalised programme from up to 38 one-to-one meetings, each 25-minutes in duration, with existing and potential partners. Our format is designed to make it easy for you to identify and connect with the right partners.
The first day includes a full programme of seminars, panel discussions, and roundtable debates. Led by experts, these sessions provide up-to-date information about the latest market trends in international education and student mobility across the region.
In addition to the pre-scheduled meetings, you’ll be able to take advantage of a range of informal networking opportunities, with coffee breaks, lunches, and evening receptions all included.
The event will be hosted at the Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. Nestled between the beautiful Marapendi lagoon and the pristine white sands of the Barra da Tijuca, it provides the perfect backdrop for ICEF Latin America.
Offering state-of-the-art facilities, the Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro boasts 436 guest rooms, world-class international and local cuisine, a selection of stylish bars, a full range of health and fitness amenities, as well as all the modern business and conference facilities to ensure a productive event.
