Network at the Gulf's largest gathering of High School Counsellors.

BMI Gulf International Schools Forum & Workshop

As a key event in the UAE International Education Week programme, BMI provides an exclusive opportunity for you to meet counsellors and principals from renowned international and private high schools in the Gulf region.

Throughout the Gulf, education is a fundamental priority for both families and the government – at local and national levels.

Reinforce your brand and your unique educational offering with a focused opportunity to widen your network with influential principals and school counsellors who actively prepare and advise their students on the next stages of their academic careers.

Private meetings with high school counsellors and leaders

This exclusive event gives you access to decision-makers and advisors at the top international and private high schools in the Middle East:

  • Target and pre-organise meetings with specific principals and high school counsellors.
  • Have 15 private meetings over 2 days and network during the gala dinner, lunches and coffee breaks.
  • Create and solidify relationships throughout the event at various networking functions.

New accreditation programme for counsellor's Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

With so much variety in global undergraduate admissions processes and requirements, our events give counsellors the chance to not only meet industry colleagues face to face, but also enhance their own knowledge and career development.

During our workshop, counsellors will also attend educational seminars which form part of Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Programme (THE CAP). Consisting of 12 modules and covering a solid range of content to help improve counsellors’ daily tasks when advising students, THE CAP is a ground-breaking professional development programme to support the international school sector.

All attending counsellors will receive some in-person training from THE CAP during the event, and then finish the remaining sessions online. Once completed, they will be among an elite cohort of school counsellors who hold a globally recognised accreditation, bolstering their career profile and thereby enhancing the reputation of their school.
