EducationUSA Forum

The U.S. Department of State’s EducationUSA network is pleased to announce that the 2024 EducationUSA Forum will be held in Washington, DC, July 30-August 1, 2024.  The EducationUSA Forum provides opportunities for representatives of U.S. colleges and universities to engage with EducationUSA staff and explore strategies for reaching overseas student audiences and ensuring the success of international students on U.S. campuses. Registrants will attend panels and skills workshops on a diverse range of topics led by U.S. government officials, U.S. higher education professionals, and EducationUSA overseas staff.  Visit the event registration site for more details.  

EducationUSA Regional Forums

EducationUSA holds forums internationally that bring together advisers located in  one world region and U.S. higher education institutions. U.S. higher education professionals are invited to register to attend, to propose presentations or specialized training sessions, to share best practices,  and to network with advisers and REACs during these events.  The EducationUSA East Asia and Pacific Regional Forum will take place in-person, in the region, in Fall 2024.  

EducationUSA International Student Fairs

EducationUSA runs international student fairs both in-person and online throughout the year. Over 40 fairs with potential for U.S. higher education participation take place each year. Many of these are part of larger multi-city fair circuits that decrease travel costs and maximize recruitment potential.  We encourage you to browse upcoming international student recruitment fairs on the EducationUSA Fair Registration Portal.
