As part of the Experience Gold Coast (EGC) Family 2025, the Education Team is proud to welcome international delegates from around the world to experience the Gold Coast’s world-class education offerings.

While our four-day program is packed with immersive visits and professional development opportunities, time constraints mean we can’t visit every incredible institution in person. That’s why we've created Connect & Discover. This special event brings together our international delegates and showcases the Gold Coast's diverse and high-quality education providers, all in one place.

While this event has been created with educational provider institutions (such as schools, colleges, and universities) in mind, we are now extending the invitation to student migration agents, education agents, study tour operators, and other stakeholders in the international education sector.

You are not required to host a display or presentation to attend. This invitation is for those who wish to network, connect, and explore collaboration opportunities.
