Exhibitors & Sponsors

We are excited to announce the fourth SIEBA HUI, New Zealand’s largest international education conference for the school sector.

Building on the success of our first inaugural National HUI in 2017 and subsequent growth in 2018 and 2024, we are excited to host the next HUI scheduled for May 12 - 14 in 2026. The incredible support of our delegates, presenters, exhibitors, stakeholders and partners has been vital to this journey, and we look forward to welcoming you to the next SIEBA HUI.

This year’s 3-day HUI will be held at the stunning Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre in Christchurch. We look forward to welcoming principals, international directors, deans, accommodation staff, administrators, stakeholders, partners and exhibitors.

New for 2026, we are introducing an exclusive agent forum on day one, bringing both onshore and offshore education agents together for dedicated one-on-one meetings with over 100 schools. Creating more opportunities for exhibitors to network and promote their services.

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

EXPECTED DELEGATE NUMBERS

We are expecting 350-400 delegates from primary, intermediate, and secondary schools across New Zealand, and education agents from both New Zealand and overseas
