Connecting international education professionals
The annual APAIE Conference and Exhibition seeks to bring together international educators, institutions and organisations who are active in Asia-Pacific higher education, for five days of networking and professional development, including three days of exhibition.
The event is usually held in late March and provides an opportunity to establish and strengthen ties both within the region and between the Asia Pacific and the rest of the world.
The significance of the Asia-Pacific in international education
The APAIE Conference and Exhibition debuted in 2006 with 400 participants in Seoul, South Korea.
It now attracts over 2,500 delegates from 65+ countries/regions, with more than 500 organisations represented in the exhibition hall.
The growing attendance each year reflects the burgeoning interest in the region and recognition of the Asia Pacific’s important role in international education, making the APAIE Conference and Exhibition a key event for the international higher education community.
