The human element

1,900+ delegates met at AIEC 2024 in Melbourne/Naarm, on the lands of the Kulin Nation people, on 22-25 October 2024.  

Held over four days, the conference provided a unique convergence of networking, learning and celebration in a single package, and attracts attendees from Australia and overseas.

The 2024 program included sessions covering 100+ important topics for international education today from 230+ speakers, hot topics in all key interest areas, expert panels and presentations, interactive session formats to facilitate learning and discussion, and plenty of networking opportunities through Braindates and at social events. 

Inspired by 2024's theme, ‘the human element’, we invited educators, researchers, policymakers and thought leaders to explore the multifaceted dimensions of human interactions across the international education landscape in this rapidly evolving digital era.
