TESTIMONIALS

I’m very grateful to be able to participate in this type of event because there is updated valuable information for my students.

Alexandra de Fina Colegio Guayamuri, Venezuela

Another great experience for 'global travel'. These meetings are so important in helping me expand my knowledge of universities across the globe and of what my students need to know too. Thanks to all.

John Barter Baleares International College, Spain

It was an excellent opportunity to meet new contacts. I was very happy with the meetings I had with the universities. They all followed up with additional information. It was hugely helpful for me. Two of us attended from the Grammar School, so we split the meetings, and it was manageable with our school work. An excellent event, thank you!

Kam Stylianou The Grammar School Nicosia, Cyprus

As always, a very professionally structured 3 days, with great opportunities to learn and develop relationships with those sitting on the other side of the desk. Looking forward to the next one.

Luke Turner Carlucci American International School of Lisbon, Portugal

I was really pleased with how the conference was organized, the platform worked really well, and the meetings I had with counselors were truly productive! It was a fantastic way of connecting with professionals across the globe that I would not have been able to visit in-person. The schedule was well-paced and structured, with interesting sessions sprinkled in too. Two thumbs up to the whole team, really well done and a big thank you!
