About the Event

Birmingham, England

We are pleased to announce that registration for the highly anticipated BUILA Annual Conference will open on Monday 25 March. Our flagship event will take place at the Vox Conference Centre, nr Birmingham NEC on 9-11 July, with a very special Conference Gala Dinner on Wednesday 10 July.

We will explore the most vital issues impacting the UK international student recruitment sector, with a focus on perception and reputation. Topics will explore how UK HEIs can remain resilient despite political uncertainty and negative narratives, and shine a spotlight on the strategies that institutions can employ to not only withstand external pressures but also thrive amid adversity.

With over 30 sessions, 3 training workshops, 2 drinks receptions, the gala dinner and some great extra surprises, we are thrilled to be welcoming you alongside experts and speakers from right across the world to discuss, share and analyse the issues you have raised.

As a commitment to ensuring accessibility for our members in these challenging times, we are holding the Early Bird prices at the same rate as 2023. Full pricing details will follow shortly.
