ICEF Dubai (2026)

Join us for the 20th anniversary of an event renowned for connecting global educators with trusted, ICEF-accredited student recruitment agents from across the Middle East and North Africa.
Following a sold-out event in 2025, the immensely popular ICEF Dubai will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026, enabling educators and service providers from around the world to meet with quality, ICEF-accredited agents specialising in student recruitment from across the MENA region.
This important and diverse region, with its large, youthful population – around 50% of which is under the age of 24 – represents a significant opportunity. With a strong focus on international education in order to address a significant skills gap, growing demand has been evident in 15+ countries including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates.
For this event, ICEF only accepts agencies that have achieved ICEF Agency Status, our most rigorous screening and reference checking process.
Build your own personalised schedule of up to 38 one-to-one meetings with existing and potential partners.
Enjoy a programme of live seminars, presentations, and panel discussions, featuring experts from across the industry. Taking place on the opening day of the event, this is a unique opportunity to gain up-to-date information on the latest market trends and issues affecting the MENA region.
As well as pre-scheduled meetings, the included coffee breaks, lunches, and evening receptions provide additional opportunities to enjoy informal networking.
