African agents to engage with education
ICEF events - the best platform to
network for agents and educational
institutions. Thanks to ICEF I have had the
opportunity to network with universities and
colleges despite the pandemic. ICEF events are
very well organised and I found it to be highly
productive and worthwhile. I am eagerly looking
forward to participate in the next ICEF event.
Christopher David, Reachout Global, Mauritius
I enjoyed every bit of the event. Especially the one-on-one
meetings. ICEF made it possible for me to connect with a lot of schools
and I have been receiving agency contracts since the event ended. The organization and
web application used for the event were superb. Thanks to everyone involved in putting this
event together. Amazing job!
