If you’re looking to recruit students for language or undergraduate courses, then be sure to join our bustling education fairs in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Peru.

For those of you recruiting for postgraduate education and certificates, we also organise speciality fairs for niche higher education audiences in Colombia, Mexico and Brazil.

In addition, to help you get your brand in front of students sooner, BMI also runs fairs in prestigious secondary schools that directly connect you with senior students, parents and high school counsellors. These K-12 fairs are conveniently timed either just before or after our main fairs in order to help you make the most of your overseas visit.

With students going abroad at younger and younger ages, having firm links at the secondary school level in your target recruitment countries is vitally important. Our International Schools Forum & Workshops are designed to help you achieve just that.

Held in Brazil each March and in Colombia in 2020, this event gives you structured, pre-scheduled meetings plus ample networking time with principals and counsellors from the top secondary schools in each country. You’ll have the chance to form relationships with this critical audience who regularly advise students and parents on which countries and institutions abroad are the best fit for them.

The higher education sector in Brazil is rife with public and private universities that are keen to meet international institutions to explore strategic partnerships for student and staff mobility, international research collaborations and curriculum internationalisation.

Join our Brazilian Agent and Higher Education Workshop in March in Sao Paulo and you’ll network with university representatives from across Brazil over 2 days packed with meetings and social functions.

At the same event, higher education institutions will also be able to sit down with thoroughly vetted agents who can recruit on their behalf. Utilising such partners gives overseas universities “boots on the ground” presence which is a strong strategy in a country such as Brazil where personal contacts have much sway over the decision making process. BMI brings in student recruitment agencies from across 11 states in Brazil, offering you full countrywide coverage.

After Brazil, Mexico has the second largest economy and population in the region. Each of its 31 states are home to high quality post-secondary institutions that are eager to establish new transnational education partnerships.

Co-organised with ANUIES (Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior), the BMI Higher Education Workshop in Mexico will connect you with universities that are handpicked for their quality and ability to create international links.

Join us in November for this unique, two-day networking event that falls immediately after Expo Posgrados in Mexico.

Your content marketing strategy in Brazil and Latin America will no doubt include channels aimed directly at aspiring international students, and here’s where our platform Viva-Mundo comes in.

Our team can create and manage content for you in English, Spanish or Portuguese and produce a rich mix of marketing outreach including editorial articles about your institution or study destination, webinars, email campaigns and social media engagement.

And finally, the most prestigious event on BMI’s calendar is the BMI Global Scholarship Summit, held every spring in London. With a truly global feel, the Summit attracts all the major scholarship programme providers from over 40 countries, giving you an unprecedented opportunity to form alliances with not only scholarship organisations from Brazil and Latin America, but from all over the globe.

In the international education industry, there is truly no other event like it.
