IDP Education has announced a major participation in this
year’s Going Global 2011 conference in Hong Kong. Running
from the 10
th to the 12
th March, Going Global
is an annual international education conference providing a
specialist forum for exploring developments and issues in
international education. The conference, which will host more
than 1000 international delegates, is an initiative of the British
Council / Education UK and is primarily focussed on education
in the UK, but also addresses many issues of general interest to
those involved in international education and student mobility.
IDP will be a Silver Sponsor of the conference
and will host a booth in the delegate exhibition. A number of IDP’s
senior management will be in attendance, including Arlene
Griffiths, Country Manager for the UK, Peter Burges, Region
Director for South East Asia and Allen Jiang, Region Director for
North Asia.
This is the first time that Going Global has
been held outside the UK. “Given IDP’s 40 year
commitment to helping students from Asian countries who
wish to study overseas and our clear intent to offering the UK as a
destination in 2011, this is an ideal opportunity for us to
showcase our capabilities to delegates”, said Peter Burges, who is
leading the IDP initiative to offer the UK as a leading education
destination to complement its existing Australia and USA
student placement businesses.
