Accepted sessions across NAFSA, EnglishUSA and AIRC will contribute to industry discussions on international recruitment, admissions, English language assessment, employability and institutional partnerships.
LANGUAGECERT experts have been selected to contribute to a series of sessions at leading U.S. international education conferences this fall, with proposals accepted by NAFSA regional conferences, EnglishUSA and the American International Recruitment Council (AIRC).
Across the second semester of 2026 conference season, LANGUAGECERT representatives will join higher education and international education professionals to discuss issues affecting institutions and students, including international recruitment, admissions strategy, English language assessment, employability, artificial intelligence and global partnerships.
The accepted sessions reflect LANGUAGECERT's growing engagement with the US higher education community and its commitment to contributing research, expertise and practical perspectives to conversations shaping international education.
“International education is changing quickly, and institutions are being asked to rethink recruitment, admissions, partnerships and student outcomes at the same time,” said Daniela De Bem, Executive Director, Partnerships & Recognition, Americas at LANGUAGECERT.
“These sessions give us an opportunity to exchange perspectives with colleagues across the sector, learn from the challenges institutions are experiencing and contribute practical ideas that can support both institutions and students.”
