In today’s rapidly evolving global education community, providing spaces to develop strong school and university partnerships is crucial to improving student outcomes and transitions. By working together, international educators can share resources and inspire learners to create a supportive environment for students navigating their global education journey.
Our online education conferences offer a unique platform for university admissions officers, school counselors, and independent educational consultants (IECs) to connect and collaborate. Attendees can participate in one-on-one meetings to discuss global trends in higher education and share critical knowledge to support students on their higher education academic journey.
Creating lasting connections in international education
At SRT Fairs, we believe that collaboration goes beyond a single event. That’s why we provide a variety of ways to connect university admission officers, school counselors, and independent educational consultants (IECs) in meaningful ways. Our events, whether in-person fairs or online education conferences are designed to support the development of relationships that extend well beyond the event itself.
The power of online education conferences
While in-person collaboration can be challenging in international education recruitment, dedicated online spaces offer a powerful alternative for building and strengthening school and university partnerships. Online platforms like the SRT E-Conference are invaluable resources for school counselors, university representatives, IECs, and others in the global education sector. Our upcoming Europe-Eurasia regional e-conference will be our sixth edition, having already hosted over 1,000 participants and fostered connections that help students access universities they may not have heard of otherwise.
As Celeste Moreno, co-founder of Hyll Education, shares: “Participating in the SRT e-conference has been instrumental in expanding my network. The connections made during these online events have led to ongoing collaborations, enabling me to better support my students with up-to-date information and opportunities.”
This collaborative spirit extends across each type of event, with every SRT experience contributing to a cohesive, well-informed community. Adina Toma, an independent education counselor (IEC) based in Romania, explains: “I found the SRT e-conference a rich learning experience with each session I participated in tailored to address specific challenges faced by students or focused on crucial areas such as academic advising, mental health support, or university admission processes. It offers the ideal opportunity to make connections and collaborate with universities and other education professionals across the sector on strategies that support students along their journey into higher education without leaving my office!.”
Through making these initial connections, educators can stay in touch, continue exchanging insights, and remain equipped to guide students effectively.
Bridging information gaps through collaborative events
At SRT Fairs, we bridge the gaps between universities, counselors, and International Education Consultants (IECs) by creating tailored events that bring everyone together for insightful conversations and practical knowledge sharing. Our e-conferences offer counselors a unique chance to connect directly with university representatives, explore new academic programs, and discuss evolving trends in global education—all designed to empower them in guiding their students toward the best-fit choices. For instance, a counselor might discover a new scholarship program or pathway for students interested in niche fields, enhancing their ability to offer personalized guidance.
Universities benefit by deepening their existing relationships with leading international schools and expanding their reach into new regions. This event is ideal for those who want to make meaningful connections and tap into new markets while solidifying their reputation with top-tier schools worldwide. Whether you’re looking to increase visibility, foster high-quality relationships, or gain a foothold in new educational landscapes, SRT’s e-conference is the go-to platform.
Lala Rusatmova, University Counselor at ADA School in Baku, Azerbaijan, shared how one of our e-conferences broadened her knowledge and opened unknown doors for her students: “The SRT E-Conference has allowed me to gain new insights into universities and programs that my students and I had previously never heard of. A one-on-one meeting with a university evolved from a simple conversation about programs and admissions processes to five of my students enrolling in this university the following year.”
Phillip Wenturine, the Director of University Counseling at Brewster Madrid, reinforces the important role of online interactions, explaining: “Attending the SRT E-Conference is invaluable – not only for connecting directly with universities but also for enhancing my knowledge to better support my students. I’m looking forward to participating again this year.”
Building an interconnected global education community
As an organization, we are committed to building and sustaining a global community of informed and interconnected international educators. Carolyn Barr from Leiden University highlights the long-term value of these connections: “Working with SRT over the past few years has been nearly effortless. Their support allows me to dedicate focused time to engage one-on-one with counselors, creating more meaningful conversations in an otherwise busy schedule. Our goal is to help the right student find the right program rather than pursue active recruitment. One of the biggest benefits of online education conferences like SRT’s is the opportunity to have detailed and tailored discussions, which ultimately help counselors guide students more effectively.”
Organizing targeted events to support international student recruitment throughout the year, we offer participants the opportunity to build and consolidate relationships and keep important conversations alive. Through our diverse, tailored events, we are building a future where educators and institutions worldwide can collaborate effectively to support students. Together, we’re creating a connected, informed community ready to guide students through the complexities of international education with confidence and clarity.
