APAIE 14th Conference & Exhibition

"On behalf of APAIE, it is a pleasure to welcome you to APAIE 2019. Malaysia provides the ideal setting to gather and discuss diversity and inclusivity, and I look forward to meeting with many of you in Kuala Lumpur. While geographically close to the location of the successful 2018 APAIE conference (Singapore), Kuala Lumpur offers delegates a very different experience. Together with their co-hosts, UTM has put together a programme that will ensure that you leave APAIE 2019 with a better understanding of the key issues impacting higher education in the Asia-Pacific, and especially those in the ASEAN countries. Additionally, you will experience a taste of the dynamic multicultural city that is Kuala Lumpur. Pluralistic and religiously diverse, Kuala Lumpur’s rich cultural heritage is evident wherever you look, and I can guarantee there will be something for everyone!" - President of APAIE

The Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) was established in Seoul, South Korea in 2004 by a Founding Committee consisting of thirteen university representatives from across the Asia Pacific region, and has since expanded to become a thriving association. APAIE aims to encourage greater cooperation between institutions, to enrich and support international programmes, activities and exchanges, and to promote the value of international education across the region and beyond. In doing so, APAIE devotes itself to the principles of mutual respect, diversity and collective progress.

The APAIE Conference and Exhibition brings together international education policy-makers, practitioners and experts from across the globe to the Asia-Pacific region to network, improve professional skills and learn about new developments in international education. The APAIE Conference and Exhibition debuted in 2006 with 400 delegates. It now attracts 2,000 delegates and over 200 exhibitors. The growing attendance each year at the Conference reflects the burgeoning interest in the region and recognition of the Asia Pacific’s important role in international education.
