WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Learn from the best
We bring together the individuals and businesses who not only know, but also shape the private education investment markets in MENA – from mega-networks, to fast-growing chains; from global influencers to home-grown innovators.
Develop new networks
We host the entire market in one place - including analysts, LPs, GPs, VCs, direct and online education delivery providers, edupreneurs, financiers, Ministries and regulators. We focus on new geographies that offer attractive expansion opportunities – with particular attention this year on Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt and Qatar.
Expand your business
Our sessions this year focus on new areas for investment in education – taking in teacher training institutes; home schooling networks and materials; higher education; affordable and low fee offerings.
Gain specialist knowledge
Sessions this year focus on specialist topics that maximise investments – looking at real estate options, how to pitch your business, how to develop a multi-brand platform and much more.
See the future
Our keynote futurist explores how changes in social structure, employment and skills will change the way education is delivered, and where you should be investing.
