Supported by City of Sydney, and Study NSW, the International Education Forum is an annual event, bringing together the international education sector and business community in Sydney and New South Wales.

 

 

Through thought leadership, engaging discussion, and networking opportunities, the half-day forum will focus on:

The forum aligns with the objectives outlined in the City of Sydney's  International Education Action Plan and Study NSW's International Education Recovery Strategy, which both focus on enhancing the international student experience and supporting international student employability by reinforcing engagement between businesses and students for mutual benefit.

 

 

 

The forum will ensure that Sydney and New South Wales remain a first-choice international study destination, making the event a must-attend for international education sector stakeholders, including representatives from educational institutions, government bodies, student support services, and industry partners. The forum will also benefit local businesses interested in tapping into the international student workforce.
