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.
