Following its success in 2019 and 2020, ICEF Africa returns in 2021 as a virtual networking event dedicated to meeting the needs of international education providers looking to attract students from this dynamic and vibrant continent.
Africa has established itself as a major area of growth for outbound students in recent years and countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Botswana, and Ghana are now increasingly challenging Nigeria’s traditional dominance of the sector.
Taking place from 08 to 10 June 2021, ICEF Virtual Africa is the standout opportunity for educational institutions around the world to access these emerging student markets and pro-actively market their institutions to would-be recruitment partners.
PROGRAMME & SEMINARS
At ICEF Virtual Africa, you can build your own personalised programme, combining one-to-one video meetings with an outstanding seminar schedule and informal networking opportunities.
As well as this, you will also be able to access our range of online seminars providing up-to-date information and the latest market trends and issues currently affecting international student recruitment in Africa. Featuring speakers from across the international education community, these optional seminars are designed to inform you of the latest trends and developments. Our seminars are available live and on demand, both during and for 4 weeks after the event, so you can build your schedule to suit you.
In addition, this event features a unique informal meeting space: The ICEF Networking Lounge. Here, you can meet other education professionals in a relaxed atmosphere, away from your structured event schedule.

This is a virtual event, allowing you to participate online from wherever you are, with no special software. ICEF’s unique virtual events use a combination of our meeting booking system (Marcom eSchedule PRO) and Zoom to provide a seamless and engaging networking experience for all participants. This combination offers you direct and total control over the types of partners you meet during the event based on their main activity and country of origin, as well as the peace of mind of using a secure and stable platform for your meetings.
Once registered, you will receive a confirmation via email with log-in details enabling you to access our meeting scheduling system approximately 2 weeks prior to the event through your myICEF portal.
To make the most of the event, we strongly recommend that all participants have access to a reliable Internet connection, a microphone and a webcam.
