A Dedicated Agent Day for International Education Partnerships

Date

12 May – Dedicated Agent Day (for international education agents and schools)

13 – 14 May – 2 Day HUI (for schools only)

Location

Te Pae Convention Centre, Christchurch, New Zealand

The SIEBA HUI is the premier biennial conference for New Zealand's international education school sector. Traditionally, this two-day event has been exclusively for schools.

However, 2026 marks an exciting new chapter with the introduction of an additional day dedicated to education recruitment agents.

Our 2026 theme, “Under One Sky – Schools Shaping the Future,” evokes unity and a global community, inspiring a future-focused look at how we can grow international education together.

The HUI will unite delegates from the school’s international sector across Aotearoa including principals, international directors, deans, accommodation staff, administrators, stakeholders, agents, partners and exhibitors.

Together, we’ll spark bold conversations, explore shared purpose, and build lasting partnerships to shape the next chapter in international education.
