GETEX – the Global Education & Training Exhibition – is the MENA region’s premier student recruitment occasion.

With a track record back to 1984, GETEX has become the place for education providers to attract students and meet quotas – with over 2000 institutions from all over the world participating. The event is unbeatable as a chance for them to engage directly with their target audiences, start the conversations that lead to successful enrollment, and generally increase the visibility of their brand.

GETEX attracts thousands of local and expatriate students, all actively researching their higher education, professional development and training options and choices.

For 2025, GETEX will feature over 20 show floor seminars, open to exhibitors wanting to engage with students and parents, and answer questions directly. There will also be a trio of associated opportunities, starting with the Counsellors Forum, a specialised agenda open to heads of exhibiting universities, schools and education regulators in UAE, that includes a networking dinner and drinks. Similarly, the Education Leaders Networking evening is another fantastic opportunity to shape public-private partnerships, and engage with academic professionals, thought-leaders and education innovators. Meanwhile the Academia/Industry Conference, jointly hosted with Unipreneur Inc, will focus on social impact issues.
