International educators, university recruitment representatives and high school counsellors will gather in Bangalore, India, in August for learning and development experiences and networking opportunities facilitated by Gen Next Education.
Gen Next Education is an international education organisation dedicated to enhancing access to global education and empowering students and educators globally.
The g2 – the globalED gathering: Embracing the New Frontier of International Education event on August 17-18 is aiming to drive change among these stakeholders and transform networking within the admissions, recruitment and counselling community.
“g2 offers attendees a unique opportunity to engage with the broader international community, share best practices, and gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of college admissions across the globe,” said Gen Next.

Sessions include best practices for preparing high school students for education abroad, guidance on global admissions procedures, examinations of emerging student markets and tips and tools for working with independent education consultants.
