Greetings from NAFSA Region VII! The field of international education is looking forward to reuniting with colleagues for regional conferences. These conferences traditionally draw large crowds of higher education international leaders in order to network and learn from one another.

By attending this event, your organization will have access to hundreds of international educators from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands!
Partner with Us! This flyer has general information about opportunities for Exhibiting, Sponsoring, and Advertising. Registration information can be found on the conference website: https://www.nafsa.org/conferences/2023-nafsa-region-vii-conference.
