Replacing Business Development & Strategy (BD&S). The Macro Strategy track explores the big-picture forces shaping the future of international education. Sessions in this track examine high-level policy shifts, geopolitical dynamics, demographic trends, and emerging challenges and economic drivers that influence our sector. Designed for senior leaders and strategic thinkers, this track provides high-level insights to inform long-term planning, risk management, and institutional positioning.
