Achieve Your Overseas Enrollment Goals with EMA

Participate in the Enrollment Management Association’s (EMA) global agent speed-dating events and student recruitment fairs to discover how we can make a difference in the enrollment of happy students across your campus. Our agent speed-dating events provide access to a powerful network of savvy agents who specialize in boarding school enrollment. During our student recruitment fairs, you can expect to meet with qualified families with the academic abilities and financial means to attend an overseas boarding school.

Join us each spring and fall to take advantage of competitively priced events, giving you more value at a lower cost than other similar recruitment fairs. Maximize your investment dollars and time with value-added professional development and networking opportunities. Leverage the unmatched global expertise we bring to your enrollment and recruitment strategies—at each step and throughout the year.

You and your team can be assured that EMA invests heavily in marketing to families who want their children to study abroad (especially to the U.K., Switzerland, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and the U.S.). Additionally, the agents we work with are pre-vetted specifically for schools in each city we visit, and appointments are secured prior to your arrival in each country.
