New Zealand Education Virtual Fair, Germany, May

The first New Zealand Education Virtual Fair will be held online for German students during May 2010. This online format is a new approach for PACE: the event looks and feels just like a normal fair, but it is all online, no international airfares or accommodation are required. Participants are able to speak to fair visitors in real time, as usual, but all discussions are held over the internet. Over 3,000 German students studied in New Zealand during 2008 and first time student visas almost reached 2,500 during the 2008 to 2009 period.

Germany is a market already well adapted to online tools, social media and high internet usage.

The expo will run for the entire month of May, with three live 3 hour sessions on Tuesday 11, 18 and Thursday 20 May.

Hosted by Virtual Expos NZ’s experienced staff, you will be given all the technology assistance needed to hold a successful virtual fair, including all of the features you would expect to find at a physical expo. A minimum of twenty registrations is required by Friday 29 January. More information about the event or booking a demo can be found HERE or by contacting Laurette.
