From 12–14 May 2025, international education professionals will once again converge in Vancouver for ICEF’s flagship North American networking event. Held at the centrally located Hyatt Regency Vancouver, ICEF Vancouver 2025 brings together quality student recruitment agents from across the globe with leading education providers from Canada and the United States.
Recognised as North America’s leading international education networking opportunity, ICEF Vancouver continues to serve as a vital platform for forging meaningful partnerships within the sector. Hundreds of student recruitment professionals, all carefully vetted by ICEF, are expected to attend, representing thousands of students interested in pursuing academic opportunities in North America.
Participants will have the chance to curate a personalised agenda, including up to 38 one-to-one meetings with existing and prospective partners. These meetings are at the heart of ICEF events, allowing for productive dialogue and business development in a structured, yet flexible setting.
The event opens with a full day of seminars, presentations, and panel discussions led by respected figures from across the international education industry. This is a key opportunity to gain timely insights into market trends, regional updates, and the evolving landscape of student mobility between Canada, the US, and other parts of the world.
In addition to scheduled sessions, ICEF Vancouver provides numerous informal networking moments through coffee breaks, evening receptions, and social gatherings, helping participants strengthen existing relationships and form new connections in a relaxed atmosphere.
This year’s event will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, a sophisticated venue boasting premium event spaces and a wide array of amenities. Just steps from the famous shops of Robson Street and a short distance from Stanley Park, attendees will be situated in one of the most vibrant areas of the city.
The hotel’s facilities include a fully equipped fitness centre, a heated pool, and various dining options — ensuring that all who attend enjoy both comfort and convenience. Its proximity to the Cruise Port, Rogers Arena, and the Vancouver Convention Centre further cements it as an ideal setting for such a significant event.
