In the past 14 exhibition circuits, IEFT participants enjoyed great success: Hundreds of quality schools and education partners from over 25 countries have met with 75,000+ prospective students and their families, all eager to discover the study options available abroad (Look Who’s Been to IEFT)
All levels of education are represented at IEFT, from high school programs and language schools, to post-graduate and specialty programs. And this range is just that which IEFT visitors are looking for: Students, parents, teachers, executives, school representatives – all walk away from these events enlightened by shared information, new contacts, and new opportunities.
The real success of IEFT has to be credited to those school representatives who attend. It is the combination of personalities and cultures that makes IEFT what it is: An international event reflecting the true nature of this industry.
