Following a successful 2025 event, which saw hundreds of international education professionals gather in Madrid, ICEF Spanish Education returns for its fifth edition. A three-day conference, it connects education providers in Spanish speaking countries with high-quality, ICEF-screened student recruitment agents from around the world.

With Spanish the official language in 20 different countries, an increasing number of international students are actively pursuing a range of opportunities, either in Spain or in a Spanish speaking country, including short and long-term studies, cultural immersion, and vocational programmes.

Spain’s capital and its most populous city, Madrid serves as the elegant backdrop for this must-attend networking conference, while providing all the amenities expected of a well-connected European metropolis.
