ICEF Vancouver enables quality agents from around the world to meet with Canadian and US education providers

For the last 14 years, the ICEF Americas events – hosted alternately in Vancouver and Toronto – have attracted an increasing number of participants, firmly establishing both as Canada’s leading international education B2B networking conferences.

ICEF Vancouver returns in 2023, with a three-day networking event welcoming hundreds of student recruitment professionals from around the world. This is an opportunity for educators and service providers to connect with hundreds of pre-screened agents representing tens of thousands of students interested in studying in Canada and the US.

Running from May 06-08, ICEF Vancouver 2023 is an in-person event being hosted at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver.

Meeting schedule & Seminar programme

Build your own personalised schedule of up to 38 one-to-one meetings with existing and potential partners.

Enjoy a programme of live seminars, presentations and panel discussions, featuring experts from across the industry. Taking place on the opening day, this is a unique opportunity to gain up-to-date information and news on the latest market trends and issues concerning study in Canada and the US.

Apart from your scheduled meetings, coffee breaks and evening receptions provide ample opportunity to enjoy informal networking opportunities.

Who goes to ICEF Vancouver?

For educators, ICEF Vancouver offers a cost-effective and efficient way of connecting with a large pool of active international student recruitment agents from across the world, in one location. All agents are pre-screened by ICEF to ensure professional quality.

Leading recruitment agencies representing tens of thousands of students attend ICEF Vancouver because it provides them with an opportunity to meet with representatives of some of the best education institutions in Canada and the US, both highly desired destinations for their student clients.
