March 18, 2016 Register Now for 2016 IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad 
The 2016 IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad will take place on October 23-25, 2016 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. The 2016 IIE Summit will bring education, government and business leaders and journalists together for action-oriented discussion on how to ensure international experience is a key part of a 21st century education and make study abroad opportunities available to all. The 2016 IIE Summit will continue to push the envelope to change how we think and "do" study abroad as we work together to achieve our ambitious goal. Building on last years popular interactive sessions and networking opportunities, the 2016 IIE Summit aims to go beyond the traditional panel format to engage participants in hands-on learning and outside-of-the-box thinking by exploring innovative action plans, designing an effective strategy, exchanging tools and experimenting with new approaches to further advance our mutual goal. The early bird rate is available until May 1.
