"The ANZA workshop is part of the ICEF Agent/Educator networking workshops that take place around the world including Berlin, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Miami. These workshops are effective in introducing an RTO to a new geography of agents and should be considered by any RTO that wishes to enter new markets."

"This is an excellent avenue for marketing my company's valuable education product. It enables me to make annual connections with agents who have enrolled students with us, as well as providing opportunities to receive personalised presentations from international education agents. I recommend the ANZA Workshop as an invaluable educational and marketing tool to all enterprises either currently, or planning to be, involved in international education."

"A very professionally and well run event. Well done!"
Lisa Bowtell
Gold Coast Institute of TAFE, Australia

"An excellent experience - very professional and well organised. I met a lot of interesting new people, who I think we will be able to work with well. It has given our company excellent exposure to agents from countries that wouldn't normally know about our school."
Lou Newman
International Training College, Australia

"This was an amazing event, which was run extremely well. I think New Zealand showed the world that we can compete for this kind of event very successfully. Well done."
Beverly Parkinson
Southwell School, New Zealand

"There were so many serendipitous moments during this conference - especially meeting wonderfully friendly and interesting agents from locations I would not otherwise have thought about, meeting providers with similar challenges and / or complimentary courses to package with mine, plus meeting "quality add-on" service providers at their booths. Excellent level of organisation and stunning locations. Very worthwhile."
Jenny Byatt

I REALLY want to do ANZA as I am now enjoying the benefits of that exposure. As you know I'll be leaving on the 8th of September for a trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and I have used the Agent Catalogue you provided to contact agents, and the response has been overwhelming. It was sufficient to say that I attended the ANZA workshop but that I hadn't had the opportunity of meeting them, and believe me the floodgates opened. Suffice to say, I will be picked up at my hotel and driven to their offices etc etc. So you can see how keen I am to be in Melbourne even if it's to just consolidate some of those contacts.
