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.
