Related Fairs

The Latin America EXPO Roadshow offers international education institutions, of any discipline and from any country, the opportunity to present their courses to thousands of pre-selected and pre-screened students in Columbia's, Panama's and Venezuela's most productive markets during Latin America's leading International Student Recruitment Fairs.

Reasons to Attend

As the 3rd largest student market in Latin America, Colombia is a highlight on the EXPO Roadshow schedule and Panama and Venezuela have been on the exhibition calendars for the last six years.

Language schools, colleges, universities, high schools, IT colleges, business schools, hotel schools, postgraduate and MBA programs from more than 40 countries have experienced increased enrollments and brand awareness through these recruitment events.

Market Overview

Latin America's top universities—concentrated in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico—are increasingly embracing globalisation in ways that go beyond the traditional model of undergraduate student exchange. Major businesses and universities are also fuelling the demand. Latin American companies are increasingly operating internationally and are therefore giving priority to candidates who have studied abroad and who speak other languages. At the same time, many universities are also encouraging students to spend part of their course abroad and require them to speak English.

Fair Outline
  • Over 1000 tables/booths sold each year in 26 different cities across Latin America, Europe and Asia.
  • Highest returning client rate in the market: 81%
  • Exclusive attendee screening that guarantees the highest-quality students; no “brochure grabbers”.
  • Full Service: Fairs & Online Recruitment, Print Ads, PR Services and Business Development.
  • Logistics: Studycentral is happy to arrange all your accommodation, transportation, and translator needs.
  • Agent Meeting Place: All participants are provided with the contact details of agents in each of the expo cities at no additional cost.

The fairs are supported by Austrade, DAAD, Campusfrance, Education New Zealand, Education USA, British Council and NUFFIC.
