IIE Europe at EAIE 2011 in Copenhagen
First of all we would like to thank all of you who were able to attend our reception or drop by our booth at the conference this year. We truly appreciated having the opportunity to share our programs and talk with you.
For those who were unable to attend we're happy to share a summary of this year's program. On the first day of the EAIE conference in Copenhagen we hosted the second annual IIE Europe networking reception with over 60 key partners attending. Conference participants also had a chance to stop by our booth to learn about our wide range of programs and activities.
EducationUSA also welcomed visitors to its largest ever U.S. Pavilion featuring 14 accredited U.S. colleges and universities, promoting U.S. study to a European audience, and providing accurate, unbiased information about all accredited higher education institutions in the United States.
We look forward to welcoming you all again next year in Dublin, and hope to continue our conversations and collaborations in the meantime.
The European Association for International Education (EAIE)-the largest conference of its kind in Europe-saw more than 4,200 international higher education professionals this year.
