What our previous participants say

Absolutely love it!

Yvonne Lorne Heritage International School

I always look forward to the conference because it is well organized and impactful. The customer service reps were available throughout the conference and it was a pleasure to be able to meet representatives who I had not had the chance to meet yet.

Trina Nagle Sunmarke School

A revelation, extremely friendly team and schedule platform, I was very honored that I have been part of it.

Laila Mohamed Bouzboune Lycée International Français en Egypte Concordia

It was a great experience, and I am glad I decided to join this SRT E-Conference. The feasibility, schedule, and overall program were recommendable. All counselors and representatives were quite open and helpful. The organising committee was prompt and solution-oriented. Meeting all at one virtual platform at this side of the region was a pleasurable experience.

Romaisa Munawer Pak-Turk Maarif International Schools and Colleges

I am well equipped in talking to my students about their college plans, thanks to this conference. Congratulations!

Martin Kit Guzman Shorouq Al Mamlakah International School

Тhis was my first time attending the conference, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am re-entering university counseling after a few years of doing socio-emotional counseling only, and it was a great and efficient way to meet with many universities and reconnect with some of the trends. Thank you!

Vera den Otter American School of Antananarivo

It was very valuable to meet with counselors one-on-one. We were able to chat a lot more than when we visit sometimes and were able to meet with counselors we don't usually reach.

Mathilde Fouche The American University of Paris

I was very happy with the entire event. The presentations were interesting, the time fit great 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.
