With over 50 in-country representatives in attendance and many others keen to be a part of this fantastic community, the inaugural #miXer (Market Intelligence Exchange for Education Representatives) for Sub-Saharan Africa took place, and it was a resounding success! The excitement and energy in the room were palpable. The discussions centered around market insights and the market landscape as it applies to the region, focusing on key study destinations like the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. Panelists and colleagues in attendance had obvious and insightful points of view as they discussed market insights, the impact of policy changes, marketing strategies, pathway programs, digital vs. in-person student engagement, financial considerations, long-term relationship building, and cultural and social factors that impact student recruitment in the region. The participants' resounding feedback was that the #miXer community is a welcome initiative. Many participants shared ideas for future topics for our miXers and said they would encourage peers to attend our next events. We're building peer-peer support, which is just one of the many things embedded in the ethos of the miXer as a community. A special thanks to the amazing panelists; Buchi Chinwuba Kafayat Akin-Sesan Tolulope Obafemi Ubani Prince Temitope Olaleye B.Sc, MBA, ACIPM, LHRP Ajekpenye Ejomah, and every single in-country representative who attended this maiden event. "It was a delightful time because of your contributions and the energy you brought into the room. Thank you for being a part of a community that will serve our professional growth and needs as an industry." Great work, Simisola Smith, for bringing everyone together through this initiative! If you are an in-country representative based in Sub-Saharan Africa and would like to be added to the official miXer database to keep you updated with any news and upcoming events, please email africa@grokglobal.com. The miXer is open to all in-country representatives working for various study destinations.

Celebrating Megha Srivastav's impactful participation in the Higher Education Conclave (HEC) 2024, we are thrilled to share in her incredible experiences and insights gained from this transformative event. HEC is the annual flagship event of Silver Fern Education Consultants and stands as one of the grandest and most sought-after higher education gatherings in North India. It draws attention from all regions of the country and requires extensive planning and execution, always with student benefits at its core. Unlike typical education fairs, HEC brings together all relevant stakeholders in higher education under one roof, creating a holistic experience for students. HEC 2024 was more than just a gathering; it was a vibrant celebration of the #internationaleducation sector. Participants had the privilege of engaging and inspiring conversations, including a brilliant hot seat cold seat session with Monika Chawla and Megha Srivastav, who addressed challenging questions with openness and insight. The keynote address by Aman Gupta, Founder and CMO of boAt Lifestyle, was particularly memorable, as he shared candid insights that resonated deeply with all attendees. Connecting with leading educators and thought leaders, reuniting with old friends, and forging new relationships reinforces the pride we feel being part of the higher education community. A heartfelt thank you to Silver Fern Education Consultants for including Grok Global Services in this initiative, which aims to strengthen connections, collaboration, and innovation in education. Megha says, "I am already looking forward to the next HEC, eager to continue the conversations and collaborations that will shape the future of our educational landscape!" #HEC #HEC2024 #collaboration #connections #educationinnovation #highereducation #NorthIndia #EducationIndia #intled #grokglobal #grokstars
