ICEF Podcast: Live from Berlin: The student recruitment industry reunited

We don't usually highlight ICEF Events in our coverage on ICEF Monitor but, as you may be aware, ICEF Berlin returned earlier this month. It was an important milestone for our industry as ICEF's first in-person event since the start of the pandemic, and our first-ever hybrid event with attendees joining both on site in Berlin and remotely from around the world.

One of the things we have missed the most about in-person events is the many conversations we have with colleagues and friends. Those important connections happen in seminar rooms, between meetings, and in the hallways and gathering spaces throughout the venue.

And so we are very pleased to present a sampling of those conversations from Berlin in the form of a special podcast episode this week. The episode was recorded live in Berlin, and it captures three insightful discussions from the event.

Our host Martijn van de Veen is joined by a number of delegates and ICEF staff who were on site in Berlin, including ApplyBoard co-founder Meti Basiri, Óscar Porras Sánchez, the president of the Spanish agency association ASEPROCE, Bloeme Bergmann from the Global School for Entrepreneurship, Andries Bonneur, founder of international exchange provider Stage-Global, and Oana Lelcu from SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences.

You can listen right now in the player below, and we encourage you to subscribe via your favourite podcast app in order to receive future episodes automatically.
