Achieve your overseas enrollment goals with EMA

Participate in the Enrollment Management Association’s (EMA) global agent speed-dating events and student recruitment fairs to discover how we can make a difference in the enrollment of happy students across your campus. Our agent speed-dating events provide access to a powerful network of savvy agents who specialize in boarding school enrollment. During our student recruitment fairs, you can expect to meet with qualified families with the academic abilities and financial means to attend an overseas boarding school.

Join us each spring and fall to take advantage of competitively priced events, giving you more value at a lower cost than other similar recruitment fairs. Maximize your investment dollars and time with value-added professional development and networking opportunities. Leverage the unmatched global expertise we bring to your enrollment and recruitment strategies—at each step and throughout the year.

You and your team can be assured that EMA invests heavily in marketing to families who want their children to study abroad (especially to the U.K., Switzerland, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and the U.S.). Additionally, the agents we work with are pre-vetted specifically for schools in each city we visit, and appointments are secured prior to your arrival in each country.

"Though I had heard excellent things, the EMA event in Seoul, Korea was my first interaction with Mary and John and the Enrollment Management Association in general. Indeed, their professionalism, efficiency, and hard work were leaps and bounds above these references. From the moment we connected to the day itself and the care shown afterward, the decision to continue was made very easy. If you are looking for a reliable partner to support your overseas recruitment who knows the industry inside and out and genuinely takes time to understand your school, EMA is all that and more."

I built an incredible database of top quality agents and met families and students from around the world. Ross has enrolled at least 6 six students who are mission aligned and their outstanding attributes will truly enhance our boarding program. Mary and John’s professionalism, organization and inside knowledge about markets and school communities is exceptional.I was fortunate enough to travel with EMA this year to several International Recruitment Fairs, they were fabulous!
