English UK  has announced that it will host the English UK Summit: Working Together To Rebuild And Succeed event online from September 14-16 this year.

The first day will feature a programme of seminars and panel discussions, while the following two days will be focused on agent meetings in different time slots to suit student markets: 07:00-12:00 UK time on September 15th for Asia, Europe and MENA; 14:00-19:00 on September 16th for Europe, MENA and Latin America.

Tim Barker , English UK’s Business Development Director, said, “As the UK moves out of lockdown, we and our members are planning the safest ways to give our students the educational experience they expect from us, and how we can work with partners whose countries may be at very different points in the pandemic.

“This is our chance to show the world all the work that has gone into making the UK ELT industry Covid-19 secure, listen to the concerns that will still exist in the market and start to work with key international partners on restoring market confidence. We also see this summit as an opportunity for members, service providers and agents to discuss and resolve issues that predate Covid-19 and ensure that we are all working together to help the whole supply chain for UK ELT to recover, succeed and thrive once more.”

He added, “Seminars delivered by experts from across the sector will provide delegates with the information they need, panel-led discussions will help clarify strategies on market and business development, and one-to-one meetings with key buyers will secure the relationships needed to put these strategies into action. We’re really excited about this event.”

Attendance to the seminars is free for English UK members, corporate members, partners and agents, while English UK members are asked to pay UK£150 for a meeting schedule, which can be deducted from future bookings for StudyWorld. See here for more details.
