What our previous participants say

Participating in the E-Conference was a great first experience. At first, I didn’t know what to expect, but I had the opportunity to discover universities that weren’t previously on my radar. I really enjoyed learning about new programs and student mobility opportunities that could be valuable for my students. The experience enriched my work as a counselor and also helped me broaden my own horizons.

Berenice Estrop Comunidad Educativa Tomás Moro, A.C

I was a great opportunity to talk to many different universities around the world. Here in Brazil, at my schools, I feel there's an increase of students looking for universities in other countries than the US, so it was very helpful to talk and understand how other countries deal with the application process.

Lydia Schwalb Colégio Bom Jesus Centro, Brazil

It was a great conference as always, really well organised and a fantastic way to connect with colleagues, counsellors and friends around the world!

Sohvi Riekkinen Northumbria University, UK

It was a good first experience, and with some good discussions with counsellors, who were interested to learn more about Australia, and what we offer international students

Helle Strandlyst Deakin University, Australia

I was very happy with the entire event. The presentations were interesting and I was pleasantly surprised by the openness of councilors to send there students to new destinations and their curiousity on behalf of their students.
