Experts in the field, such as Duolingo, TikTok, and IU International University of Applied Sciences will share their insights through keynotes, panels, and interactive Q&A sessions. The event will also delve into the impact of digital transformation on student engagement, foreign language learning, and credential verification. The day will conclude with a networking reception, and the full program will be available on Brella two weeks prior to the event.

Sustainable Alternatives

- Reusable table top roller banner
- QR code to your website/brochures/offers
- Sustainable giveaways for your potential partners
- Laptops – power is provided at each table, take your partners through your presentations and videos
Please also consider using local suppliers to cut down international shipping. Organizations having booked a 4m² Point-of-Display (POD) may bring a pull up banner.
