The Expo was one of the best-attended Expos we have ever held. We know that Lima is a very strong market with high demand for American universities, but this year’s response greatly surprised us. We think it is a testament to your consistent quality you bring to the Expos. It is your hard work and professionalism that makes American Education Expos the success it has become.

We were very impressed how well you handled the volume of students, which was at times overwhelming in the first couple hours. Your ability to answer all the questions and wait for the truly interested and qualified students, who arrived later in the Expo, is admirable. The visitors appreciated the information and your enthusiasm. We saw all the presenters were busy throughout the evening. We strongly suggest that you keep in contact with the students that you met throughout the night, particularly the quality students who arrived later in the evening.

While almost all of our visitors expressed interest in attending an American university, the majority of candidates for your schools came in the latter half of the Expo. The representatives conclude the evening was a great success, and the hard work will hopefully yield top-notch scholars from Lima to attend the fine visiting universities.

We started the Expo with a Chilean education briefing from a well-known local education specialist. This was extremely informative and engaging, and everyone was grateful for the talk. The Expo was filled with interested young people from the region, with stronger qualifications than most of the prospective students we met in Lima.

Despite the lower numbers, each presenter was kept busy throughout the show, answering questions from well-qualified students who seemed very interested in attending American universities. Due to the high quality of the students we met in Santiago, we strongly suggest that you keep in touch with these students, as they are very interested in attending American universities. The night was considered another great success.

After a beautiful drive through the picturesque countryside, we arrived enthused and energized at the Expo. The day started with a successful networking reception with local educators and guidance counselors. Presenters made excellent business contacts, which they should maintain to attract the high-quality students in the area.

Following the afternoon reception was the Expo, held in the evening. We were happy to host another group of well-qualified, eager students. There was an even balance between students applying for undergraduate and graduate studies. The parents and students were all very interested in meeting with the university representatives, and left satisfied with the informative and personable presentations. The Expo was a big hit.

This is our fourth successful trip to Bogota. Our claim was confirmed that Bogota is certainly a great market for recruiters.

ISN, along with many of the presenting universities, made its’ first trip to Concepcion. While a beautiful and vibrant city, it is often overlooked by American recruiters. It was a treat to visit such a lucrative and unsaturated market. We started with the Expo, which attracted another excellent group of well-qualified prospects interested in studying in America. Like in Valparaiso, half the students were interested in undergraduate programs, while the other half asked about graduate programs. Some students were interested in the schools’ ESL programs, and from there asked about the general studies at the colleges. The night concluded with another quality networking reception with guidance counselors, agents, and education specialists.

Our fifth Expo in Argentina was a brief but effective. We saw a lot of great students in the two hours, and everyone was kept busy answering questions and discussing their universities. Everyone seemed to handle the concentrated time schedule very well.

The prospective students and their parents and the Director of Icana, Viviana Morghen were also very happy to meet you all, and for the enthusiasm the presenters showed. We recommend that everyone keep in contact with Viviana and the other members of her staff we met.
