AMERICAN EDUCATION EXPO--Fall
2009
¡@
Overview
The American Education Expo (AEE) is part of a
multi-country exhibition, the International Education Expo (IEE),
which is the largest overseas education exhibition in Taiwan. It is
a four-day integrated event in Taiwan's three major cities, Taipei,
Taichung and Kaohsiung. The Spring 2009 events had close to 100
participants and 20,000 attendees -- it is the best-known and
best-attended event in Taiwan. A special First-Timer's Option
is being offered for the fall 2009 event -- if you have not joined
one of our events in the past, sign up for a slimmed-down,
lower-cost option.
The event is the only event in Taiwan to have multiple
countries represented. The event will welcome schools from Canada, the
United States, The United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. There
will be a North American section and an Australian//UK/NZ section.
Within the sections schools will be divided by schools type, i.e.,
university, college, language school and high school.
