Following the successful 2024 event, which saw just over 280 international student recruitment professionals gather in Spain’s capital of Madrid, ICEF Spanish Education returns for its fourth edition, providing a unique opportunity for education providers in Spanish speaking countries to network with ICEF-screened, quality student recruitment agents from around the world. With Spanish the official language in 20 different countries, and the second-largest population of Spanish speakers residing in the United States, an increasing number of international students are actively pursuing an education either in Spain or in a Spanish speaking country.
Spain’s capital, and its most populous city, Madrid provides an elegant backdrop for this must-attend event dedicated to connecting education institutions offering programmes in Spanish speaking countries. The perfect location for this conference, it offers all the amenities expected of a well-connected and vibrant European metropolis.
At this three-day networking event, you can build your own personalised programme of up to 38 one-to-one meetings with existing and potential partners, as well as benefit from a range of informal networking opportunities.
Participants also attend a full programme of seminars and panel discussions, providing up-to-date information on the latest market trends and issues affecting education opportunities in Spanish speaking countries.
ICEF Spanish Education will be held at the Hotel Riu Plaza España, located right in the heart of Madrid, in the emblematic Edificio España overlooking Plaza de España on Madrid’s Gran Vía. From here it is only a short distance to major historic attractions such as the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, or the neo-classical Museo Del Prado.
The Hotel Riu Plaza España offers a range of facilities to ensure your stay is comfortable and productive. Attendees are welcome to sample the hotel’s excellent cuisine or have a drink in the exclusive Rooftop Bar, with breathtaking 360° views of the city. There’s also a fully equipped gym, an outdoor swimming pool on the 21st floor, and state-of-the-art conferencing facilities, with room for up 1,500 people.

The ICEF team and participants are always of high quality and educational spirit. We are very happy to be a part of this family. Our only reference for the new horizons we will open to our students is through getting to know schools through ICEF. So thank you for your efforts.
I recently attended the event and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The organisation was top-notch, and the sessions were incredibly productive. It was a great opportunity to network and connect with like-minded individuals. Highly recommend attending!
Very good event organisation, lovely venue, brilliant location. It was a great opportunity to show agents what Spain has to offer to families relocating and to high schoolers looking for a year or two abroad studying in international schools in English.
