Following a successful 2025 event, which saw hundreds of international education professionals gather in Madrid, ICEF Spanish Education is now on 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.
Over the course of three days, you will have the opportunity to build your own personalised programme of up to 38 one-to-one meetings with existing and potential partners. You will also benefit from a range of informal networking opportunities.
Helping to keep you up to date, the first day features a comprehensive programme of expert-led seminars, panel discussions, and roundtable debates providing the latest information on market trends and international education opportunities in Spanish speaking countries.
ICEF Spanish Education will be held at the Hotel Riu Plaza España, which is located in the heart of Madrid, in the emblematic Edificio España overlooking the Plaza de España on Madrid’s Gran Vía. From there it is only a short distance to major historic attractions, including the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and 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, which offers 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 to 1,500 people.
