International Education Show

About

International Education Show is the region’s premier higher-education and careers exhibition, uniting universities, colleges, training institutions, students and parents under one roof. The event takes place annually in the United Arab Emirates and serves as a high-impact platform for exploring educational pathways, recruitment and innovation in learning. 

Organised by ‎Expo Centre Sharjah in partnership with key education-industry stakeholders, the show features a broad spectrum of institutions—from local universities to global higher-education providers, vocational training institutes, EdTech organisations and scholarship programmes. 

Each year, the event draws thousands of students, parents, academic advisors and institutional exhibitors from around the world, making it a definitive meeting point for education seekers and service-providers alike. Attendees can engage in one-on-one consultations, explore admissions & scholarships, attend interactive workshops and discover the latest in educational technology. 

The International Education Show goes beyond a traditional exhibition — it offers dynamic content including expert-led seminars, specialised knowledge zones (such as study-abroad, STEM, EdTech), career-guidance sessions and networking opportunities for institutions to engage directly with their audience.

The show is structured into several dedicated zones and features:

• Exhibition Floor – Over 100 national and international institutions showcase undergraduate, postgraduate and professional programmes, along with scholarship and financing options. 

• Study-Abroad & Global Universities Pavilion – A specialised area for international universities to present overseas education opportunities, student exchange programmes and global partnerships. 

• EdTech & Innovation Zone – Highlighting the latest learning technologies, digital classrooms, VR/AR in education, adaptive learning platforms and next-generation teaching methods. 

• Career & Guidance Stage – Workshops, panels and interactive sessions focused on aligning academic choices with labour-market trends, skills development and future careers. 

• Scholarships & Admissions Hub – Dedicated desks and consulting areas for visitors to discuss scholarships, financial aid, scholarship eligibility and application processes directly with institution representatives. 

Whether you’re a student exploring your future education path, a parent supporting career decisions, an institution looking to recruit or partner, or an EdTech vendor seeking exposure, the International Education Show offers a unique space to learn, connect and act.

By combining exhibition, interaction, insight and global education-access, the event reinforces the UAE’s role as a gateway for international education, upskilling and knowledge-economy development.
