Getex, the Gulf Education & Training Exhibition, will feature a new Counsellors Forum to provide an easy passage for education providers to reach out to practicing student counsellors in the UAE, who shortlist higher education options for students.

Aside from the benefit of being noticed and endorsed for a study program, there will also be a speaking slot for sponsors at this forum.

Getex will run from April 9 to 11 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Anselm Godinho, managing director at International Conferences and Exhibitions (IC&E), said: “As organisers of Getex, we have over the years, become more and more attuned to our clients’ ongoing marketing challenges as they encounter progressively higher competitive pressures and constraints in communicating their marketing messages to a specific target audience.”

“Having been involved with the sector for over a quarter of a century, we realize that Education is increasingly becoming ‘marketing-driven’.

“We are pleased that Getex sponsorship programmes have always delivered great value to education and training institutes, owing to their unique, customized quality of taking into account the specific branding needs of the sponsor and offering them a targeted value in return for their investment. Brand visibility, an event-based focus and instant networking opportunities are just some of the benefits associated with Getex sponsorship offers.”

According to recent reports, the GCC student population has witnessed a steady growth and is predicted to reach 11.3 million by 2020.  Getex 2014 will enable over 30,000 students to know more about 2,500 featured programmes from universities worldwide. – TradeArabia News Service
