The 2016 IIE Summit will bring education, government, and business leaders together for action-oriented panel discussions, sessions, and plenaries on how to ensure an international experience is a key part of a 21st century education and how to 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 collective goal. It is more important than ever that K-12 U.S. students are given the opportunity to acquire international, intercultural, and language skills that they will need to address and help solve today’s global challenges.

The contributions that the K-12 community are making to achieve the goals of Generation Study Abroad will help inform the discussions and identify solutions to expand and diversity study abroad. We encourage you to bring your colleagues, principals and superintendents from your district to the Summit to further inspire and bring about change and ensure that the next generations have the global competencies to succeed in the 21st century. This lively conference will engage 600+participants from around the world in out-of-the box thinking with Learning Labs, interactive Think Tanks, and Summit
Talks. Topics include:
  • Early Bird Gets the Worm: Creating a Pipeline of Diverse High School Students into College- Level Study Abroad
  • Can An Entire School District Redesign K-12 Education to Break Down Barriers to Study Abroad?
  • Deepening the Involvement of the Language Profession in Generation Study Abroad
A special pre-conference workshop, entitled, 'Fostering Global Competency and Creating Pathways to Study Abroad,' will be facilitated by AFS on Sunday, October 23, 2016. This workshop will introduce participants to innovative methods that can be implemented to promote 21st century learning skills and global citizenship education as a way to inspire curiosity for study abroad. Please refer to the Summit schedule for more details.

IIE is pleased to offer K-12 teachers and administrators a special registration rate of $250. Please register as early as possible to secure your seat!
