The Washington International Education Conference helps you connect you with your peers, building your professional network and offering a glimpse into “what works” in another institutional context. As the premier annual international education conference in Washington DC, WIEC stands out in our exclusive access to foreign scholarship funds, embassies, and US government departments. If your work centers around recruitment, meeting decision makers at organizations like the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission can advance your recruitment efforts in the Middle East, while gaining contacts and hearing from regional experts in China and India can help you better weather uncertain times. WIEC curates new visits and content each year to make you aware of promising emerging recruitment markets. Colleagues in administration and international student services benefit from policy updates provided directly by US government agencies like the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, and State. Each year, we aim to introduce you to impactful technologies or new services that students or other universities are using. And of course, an embassy conference would be incomplete with a bit of fun as well: an array of delicious meals and a festive reception to show you the cuisine, music, and hospitality of your colleagues from around the world.
