For 2025, ICEF South Asia is heading to Goa. This popular event offers the unique opportunity to connect with top quality, ICEF-screened student recruitment agents from across India and other South Asian countries including: Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. These agents are both valued business partners to educators and trusted advisors to the thousands of students across the region who wish to study abroad.

With strong growth seen across the region, India is the primary source for outbound international students, with the total number expected to reach between 1.5 and 2 million by 2025.
Taking place over the course of three days, from 6 – 8 February 2025 in Goa, India, this much-anticipated event will be held at the Grand Hyatt hotel.

Attending ICEF South Asia 2024 as a first timer turned out to be a great experience for me. It provides a common platform for all at your doorstep, providing an abundance of opportunities and making you grow globally.
In this day and age of online mediums, I think in-person interactions are still very important, and to make a successful partnership and a venture, you would need to have those face-to-face interactions. It adds a lot of realism and also brings you on board with those partners easily.
