The theme of 2023’s summit was “Thinking Ahead: Envisioning the Future of International Education in Sub-Saharan Africa”. This theme was informed by the need to be forward-thinking with regard to the impact of the various policy changes on the student recruitment industry as well as the socio-politico-economic situation within the continent.

As leaders, it is very important to be proactive about the new ways of doing business in this very dynamic African market, especially in this era of aggregation, artificial intelligence, unstable economies, socio-political uncertainties, etc. These were the focus of conversations at the summit.
