There is no need for a reminder that the international education industry is undergoing a great reset. We have seen many policy changes introduced in the last few years and 2026 will be the year that we witness this imposition starting to define the next phase of our industry.

As professionals of the industry, we have come together to contribute to the pivoting and preparing our institutions for the change. As this takes form, we must not forget to question what this would mean for our professional development and where does this leave us in terms of our careers.

To kick off South Australia’s 2026 IEAA Young Professionals series of events, we invite you to help shape a meaningful calendar of networking and development opportunities.

We will listen to your good ideas and continue to provide a platform for meaningful networking.

This event is open to IEAA members and all emerging professionals in international education.
