AEAS International Marketing Events for Australian schools
AEAS has organised highly successful international student recruitment events in key source markets for over 30 years.
AEAS events bring together leading Australian schools, quality education agents, and families considering high school study in Australia for their children.
Regular in country visits are an important of Australian schools developing a strong brand in key source markets. AEAS events are specifically designed for the school sector, and offer schools the opportunity to build relationships with education agents, meet new parents and students, and maintain their connections with alumni and past parents.
Australian school specific events also make an important contribution to building the profile of the Australian school sector in key source markets. Individual schools may find their individual marketing efforts to be more effective as a result of combined marketing and promotional efforts.
This was my first time attending an AEAS event and I found it to be very well organised and the AEAS staff friendly and helpful. The families were interested and positive, and I am very hopeful that we will receive further enquiries and enrolments from this event.
The event was obviously highly successful with a great buzz in the room! It was a lovely opportunity to network with schools around Australia too. Thank you!
