ICEF Podcast: The vital role of education agencies in study destination promotion

In this episode, ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen discuss the latest developments in our sector, including an important policy update from the US and some of the trends shaping study mobility in Africa.

The episode features a special discussion on the role that agents play in destination marketing. It was recorded live at the recent ICEF ANZA event in Perth, Australia, where Martijn was joined on stage by Fionna Brazier, destination marketing manager with StudyPerth; Larnie Batten, the director of StudyNT; and Janine Huxford, manager, global events and agents for Education New Zealand.

We conclude with a closer look at New Zealand and its distinct approach to controlled growth in international education.
