ICEF Africa returns in 2023 as a hybrid networking event focused on the needs of international education institutions, and relevant service providers, interested in recruiting students from this dynamic and vibrant continent.

In recent years Africa has established itself as a major area of growth for outbound students with countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Botswana, Cameroon and Ghana, increasingly challenging Nigeria’s traditional dominance of the sector.

Taking place at ​​The Westin Cape Town from 12-14 June 2023, the event is a valuable resource to access these emerging student markets and provides a unique opportunity to proactively network with pre-screened potential recruitment partners.

At ICEF Africa you can build your own personalised programme, of 38 in-person and over 50 virtual one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings, with existing and potential partners of interest.

You also have access to our range of seminars and webinars, providing up-to-date information about the latest market trends and issues relevant to student recruitment in Africa. These are available live and on-demand, during and for four weeks after the event.

ICEF Africa provides an outstanding opportunity for international and regional educational institutions, and businesses offering related services, to meet a large selection of potential student recruitment partners from across the African continent.

Representing tens of thousands of students from countries including Uganda, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Kenya, Cameroon and Ghana, attending agents have undergone ICEF’s rigorous screening process, ensuring that any potential partners have a demonstrable history of successful student placement.
