The inaugural Australia New Zealand Agent (ANZA) Workshop 2008 was a great success with 465 participants from 59 countries, reinforcing the importance of education as a major export earner for Australia and New Zealand. The event enabled 58 Australian and 55 New Zealand institutions from all education sectors (university, vocational, secondary, language) to hold pre-scheduled, 1:1 business appointments with 227 high quality education agents from 59 countries, including some of the world's highest producing agents for this region.

The workshop is destination focused and provides educators exclusively from Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to showcase their programmes, schools, countries and regions to a large group of pre-screened agents from all over the world. Regional peak bodies and their member institutions host a variety of pre and post-workshop familiarisation tours.

Hosted at the SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre, the ANZA Workshop 2009 is the most time-efficient and cost-effective way to personally meet a large number of quality agents who are focused on the region. In addition to formal 1:1 business meetings and social networking, the event also offers professional development of both agents and providers through market intelligence seminars.
