What our previous participants say

This e-conference was really great! It had a good mix of independent counselors and high school counselors. I was able to connect with many educators and chat with them about SCAD. Many were very interested in our school and learning more. It was a good networking opportunity and great for SCAD contacts. Thank you!

Brittni Evans SCAD - The University for Creative Careers, USA

The SRT Conference was extremely well organized and well-connected to the schools.

Voula Dushku ACT - American College of Thessaloniki, Greece

The e-conference was amazing. Being able to build relationships with universities from around Europe will be of great help to my students and I look forward to sharing all I have learned with them.

Heidi Goebel Mallorca Tutoring Academy, Spain

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole conference, especially the final session on Gen AI, which provided valuable and current information I can share with my colleagues.

Michael Davison British School of Tenerife, Spain

It was an extremely well-organized and informative conference. It was a great opportunity to network, develop my own practices, and improve in my role as a counselor.

Georgia Hutchings St Dominic's International School, Portugal

The platform is intuitive and easy to use. The range of universities was great as there is a mix of research and non-traditional universities as well as new universities that I have not interacted with before. Thank you for organizing it and great experience again.

Rachel Quandalle Ermitage International IB School, France

I felt the conference was an excellent way to get professionals from both sides of the desk to learn from one another. The platform is super easy to use, which is also extremely helpful. SRT, you have nailed the virtual conference setup.
