Hi everyone! In last week’s Schools & Agents bulletin, Bernice reflected on her recent conversation with Martijn van de Veen, Chief Business Development Officer of ICEF Digital. Here are her thoughts on the importance of attending industry events like these, especially for smaller, family-run schools in the international education industry.
Contrary to popular belief, ICEF Digital isn’t just for big-name educational institutions. With a modest investment of 350 Euros, schools of all sizes can access a wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities. This event puts you in the company of industry giants and innovators in AI and education, offering useful insights to propel your institution forward.
The international education landscape is constantly shifting, and ICEF Digital can help schools navigate these changes. By attending, you’ll gain exposure to easily-accessible examples and practical tools that can help you stay competitive. It’s not about overhauling your entire approach, but rather about adapting and enhancing your existing methods to meet modern standards.
For those sceptical about technology and AI’s role in education, ICEF Digital gives you a unique opportunity to explore its potential firsthand. You’ll discover how AI can complement, rather than replace, traditional educational methods. This knowledge is essential in preventing your institution from falling behind in an increasingly tech-driven industry.
ICEF Digital in November promises to be an event full of engaging discussions and fresh perspectives, as well as a chance for all of us in the international education sector to grow together. Schools & Agents will be attending, eager to engage in thought-provoking conversations and gain new insights. So, don’t let scepticism or the fear of being a smaller player hold you back – join us in shaping the future of international education. We hope to see you there!
