Bid to host British Council International Education Services Conference (formally SIEM conference) in 2018 or 2019

The British Council International Education Services Conference (formally known as the SIEM conference) is one of our national flagship education events.  Bringing together UK education providers, service providers and British Council staff from over forty countries, the conference aims to develop strategies for the promotion of UK education overseas and to support UK Education institutions in their international work.

Now in its seventh year, the event, which usually takes place in early December, is a regular fixture in the calendar for the UK education sector with some five hundred delegates attending the conference over two days.

The British Council estimates that the total economic impact of this conference on the host city comes to over £750,000 (including the management costs for the venue, British Council expenditure on accommodation and training costs) and conference attendee expenditure.

If you would like SIEM conference to come to your town or city please complete the attached form and return to oliver.phillips@britishcouncil.org by 15 March 2018.  The opportunity is also being communicated to local destination management organisations in major cities and towns.
