A Conference with a Difference
Education is rapidly evolving, and India is at the centre of its transformation. At the India UK Education Conference, we’re not just talking about change—we’re driving it. Commissioned for 2025 by popular demand, the conference provides a strategic platform for everyone involved in the international education sector, with a special focus on India. The conference is a day-long series of plenaries, special focus sessions, workshops and keynotes. It will deliver a paradigm shift in the dialogue on international higher ed and the India-UK corridor, placing young people at the heart of these conversations.
This is the ONLY consumer-led, exclusively India-focused summit, where students, alumni, policymakers, university leaders, and industry pioneers converge on one stage. The issues that matter, unmediated and with an agenda formed by the people who know. No other event brings together the entire India-UK higher education sector in this way. We bring you the speakers and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else.
Join 700+ leaders and
  • Tap into the fastest-growing student market in the world
  • Solve today’s challenges in recruitment, employability, and innovation with actionable insights
  • Identify opportunities for global collaboration with powerful local impact
  • Network at the highest level, from exclusive parliamentary discussions to the Achievers Honours Gala
NISAU’s flagship conference is your roadmap to impact, collaboration, and success. Don’t just witness the change—be part of it.
