GULF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS FORUM & WORKSHOP

OCTOBER 7th & 8th, 2019
​DUBAI

About the event

The Gulf International Schools Forum and Workshop is now firmly established as one of the most important professional development conferences in the region. The event is one of the four events of UAE International Education Week and will take place in October 2019 immediately before the UAE Global Education Fairs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The day is packed with excellent speakers, case studies on international education and a very important networking opportunity to mingle with directors and admission counsellors from international colleges and universities. You will have the chance to mingle and take part in lively discussions with your peers. More than 69 counsellors and 54 schools attended in October 2018 and with already more than 30 institutions already signed up, you can look forward to great networking across the day.

The Gulf International Schools Forum and Workshop is one of the best events to gather new insights on international education. There will be a one-day seminar program and workshop designed to provide key information and understanding to school administrators, high school principals & counsellors on the essential skills needed to help students navigate the pathway to popular global study destinations.

Participants will acquire knowledge to support students applying to university including international updates on undergraduate admissions, standardised testing and current trends in international student recruitment from key figures and experts in international education.

In addition, you will be able to have one to one appointments with directors of admissions and representatives from universities from around who can update you on the latest application procedures and documentation required for students planning to enter university abroad.
