What previous delegates say
Extremely well run, the networking space was set up well with a good range of booths and fun things to do in between sessions. Very impressed with the running of the event. 2019
A really engaging way to kick off the day and left a lasting impression. I personally enjoyed the presentations on developing markets – India, Vietnam, Latin America. I found these incredibly insightful and something I can relate directly to my line of work. To see something similar at next year’s conference would be great. 2019
Excellent topics, with something for everyone. 2019
This was my first time at NZIEC and I loved the Ministerial addresses and the keynote speakers. 2019
... really enjoy NZIEC as a place to get away from daily tasks and connect with others, but also broaden ideas and perspective of international education. 2019
Everything went super smooth and was really well organised. Even us on the debate panel from Australia were commenting how well the conference was run compared to other international ed conferences we’d all been to. 2018
Fantastic organisation. Really must congratulate all that put the event together. Great choice for keynote and other speakers. Smaller breakaway sessions with plenty of interesting topics. Great food and the jazz and bar really allowed for good networking opportunities. Best NZIEC by a country mile. 2018
Thank you for a great conference. Best one yet. I yawn when I start counting the education conferences I’ve been to around the world, and some have been shockers! But this was the first for a long time that managed to induce “post-conference depression”; you know: a low feeling following on from a real high! 2018
