The PIEoneer Awards 2025
London, 5 September 2025
The PIE Live North America 2025
Chicago, December 2-3, 2025
The PIE Live was an extraordinary gathering of leaders from academia, government, and industry. The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with discussions about the ever-changing landscape of policies and their profound impact on international students.
Co-Founder
With over a decade of experience supporting and shaping the industry, we have a unique insight into the challenges facing the professionals working in the education sector globally and the needs of the students at the centre.
Through our news, analysis and intelligence, we offer a global lens into the inner workings of the sector and share the information and insights you need to stay informed and succeed in your career.
We leverage this expertise to curate extraordinary events worldwide that connect you with professionals around the world.
Our events give you one-of-a-kind access to thought leaders and disruptors working globally on the same challenges and with shared aims of enabling exceptional international student experience – from enquiry through to enrolment and education and onwards to graduation and a meaningful career.
Our in-person conferences bring together everyone who has a stake in the industry, including educators, agents, students and service providers for networking and knowledge sharing.
From policy talks to student roundtables to relaxed format sessions to enable networking, our events are informative, interactive and fun. Immerse yourself in engaging panels, workshops, and group discussions all carefully curated in an inspiring environment.
One of the nice things about conferences like this is that when you work, you tend to be quite focused on what you’re doing. Then you come to somewhere like The PIE Live and you realise that there are so many other possibilities as well, and it broadens out what you’re thinking about and what you’re tackling.

The PIEoneer Awards celebrate innovation and achievement across the global education industry.
With a distinguished judging panel representing geographical and professional diversity, the PIEoneers recognise both individuals and organisations who are pushing professional standards, evolving their engagement or redefining the international student experience.
Guests included a unique cross-section of influencers, decision makers and thought leaders from higher education, commercial education, language teaching, education agencies, professional services and government bodies around the world. Attendees were inspired by the latest innovations taking place across our sector, and made lots of valuable new connections.
Thank you to The PIE for hosting another fantastic celebration for the #PIEoneer23 Awards in London! Your commitment to celebrating innovation and achievements in global education and the team’s effort to putting in this event in person and virtually is much appreciated and also to be lauded.
Director, IIE Center for Access and Equity
Hosting almost two million international students between them, this event connects Canada and America’s diverse institutions to learn from one another and share best practise.
The PIE Live North America attracts a global audience and focuses on the ever-changing international education landscape, bringing leaders together to address shared challenges and build new partnerships.
It has been terrific to come together with colleagues from across North America to learn about insights, challenges and opportunities in North American higher education. Understanding the similarities we face in terms of growth and collaboration, and learning from each other to get over some of the challenges we face in both of our education systems. Well done to The PIE!

Next year’s PIE Live Europe will take place March 11-12 2025, at The Brewery London. The event has quickly become an unmissable event for leaders, with many returning year on year. For a limited time we are enabling to book your tickets at a super early bird rate.
If there is anyone who knows how to throw an event it is The PIE. It was wonderful to join the Canadian Village and speak with our international colleagues about common challenges and collaborative solutions. In my experience, PIE Live events have some of the most motivational and exciting speakers.
