The early bird rate is available until May 1. The 2016 IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad will take place on October 23-25, 2016 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. The 2016 IIE Summit will bring education, government and business leaders and journalists together for action-oriented discussion on how to ensure international experience is a key part of a 21st century education and make study abroad opportunities available to all. The 2016 IIE Summit will continue to push the envelope to change how we think and "do" study abroad as we work together to achieve our ambitious goal. Building on last year’s popular interactive sessions and networking opportunities, the 2016 IIE Summit aims to go beyond the traditional panel format – to engage participants in hands-on learning and outside-of-the-box thinking – by exploring innovative action plans, designing an effective strategy, exchanging tools and experimenting with new approaches to further advance our mutual goal. Participate in Think Tanks, LearningLabs, SummitTalks and panel sessions.

 Are You Interested in Sponsoring or Exhibiting to Promote Your Organization?
The 2016 IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad represents a unique opportunity to reach influential decision-makers and higher education leaders from across the U.S. and around the world. Last year's inaugural IIE Summit convened more than 600 representatives of commitment partner institutions and organizations from around the world, as well as government and business leaders, Embassy representatives and journalists to discuss ways to increase and diversify study abroad participation. Organizations with an interest in capitalizing on the strong momentum of the Generation Study Abroad initiative should consider sponsorship and/or exhibitor opportunities at the 2016 IIE Summit. There are a limited number of "Strategic Events" and other high-visibility sponsorships available.
