19th ANNUAL CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION

Why Sponsor or Exhibit?

We are excited to be planning our 19th Annual Conference and at a time of emerging growth for the field of Education Abroad sense many others are too. The 2022 conference saw a total of over 920 participants across in-person (over 700) and virtual options and we hope to see this grow once more for a spectacular gathering in Seattle.
