AIEC 2025 theme - navigating change

The international education sector in Australia is undergoing a profound transformation, and the challenges we face are unprecedented. Yet, amid ongoing debates and hurdles, prospective international students remain steadfast in their commitment to transforming their lives through education abroad.

As leaders in this evolving landscape, AIEC provides a vital platform for us to unite and tackle the pressing challenges confronting our students. The theme 'navigating change' is designed to equip delegates with the tools and insights necessary to lead their organisations through uncertainty, fostering resilient and forward-thinking professionals in our industry.

At AIEC 2025, we invite you to:

  • engage in insightful discussions, interactive workshops and inspiring keynote sessions focused on building resilience and forward-thinking attitudes
  • examine the effects of uncertainty across the sector, discover innovative teaching methods and ways of working to adapt and thrive
  • learn how educators, professionals and students alike can benefit from embracing change and uncertainty to their advantage
  • explore how the international education sector can embrace uncertain times and develop resilience.

This conference is an opportunity to learn how international educators, professionals, and organisations can embrace change and uncertainty to their advantage. We'll explore strategies for developing resilience in the international education sector during these challenging times, while also connecting with colleagues to share experiences and expand our professional networks.

Join us in Canberra for AIEC 2025, and let's collectively shape the future of international education to be inclusive, equitable, sustainable, and empowered to navigate change!
