How to Participate
The symposium is designed as a collaborative forum—a space where independent educational consultants and university leaders can exchange ideas, share innovations, and reflect together on how to prepare the next generation of learners.
Given the intimate nature of the event, there are a limited number of universities we can accommodate. The Paris Symposium Planning Committee aims to welcome a diverse range of institutions from across the region. To support this goal, the Symposium is an invite-only event for universities. If you would like to be considered for an invitation to participate in the 51³Ô¹Ï 2026 Regional Symposium in Paris, please contact Rachel King at [email protected].
