ISANA Conference 2020 – Turning Challenges into Opportunities

2020 has been a year of unprecedented change and challenges in all aspects of everyone’s lives.  Among the changes, the 2020 ISANA National conference, initially planned to be held in New Zealand in December 2020, has been postponed to December 2021.

In 2020, ISANA International Education Association will be delivering a national conference online to provide conference attendees with a broad reflection of the experiences of the international education sector in 2020.

The program plan is designed to focus on the changes and challenges faced and the ways these have been successfully overcome by international education practitioners in Australia, New Zealand and throughout the world.  We will highlight the many lessons learnt and new ways of working in international education.

We will include guest speakers from overseas, government and students who will share insights through panel sessions and in keynote presentations to provide our conference attendees with a range of perspectives and experiences.
