Emerging Markets for Student Enrollment: What the Data Tells Us

As diversity is a key goal for many institutions, international student recruitment strategies should go beyond dominant places of origin and explore new horizons for recruitment. This panel will review trends in emerging international student markets, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia, looking at global student mobility data, prospective student data, and hearing from experts focusing on recruitment in these regions.

Presenters:

Elle Butler - Head of Marketing, USA - IDP

From Congress to Campus: Effective Advocacy Tactics in International Education

While political landscapes continually shift, the need to advocate for international education, locally and globally, persists. Effective advocacy adapts to both supportive and challenging environments. This session reviews examples of advocacy at different levels: 'Big A', focusing on government and policy-level initiatives, and 'Small A', highlighting localized efforts within institutions and communities. Panelists will discuss strategies that are effective in supportive environments as well as those necessary to make inroads in less welcoming ones.
