To our membership and friends,
It is with great happiness (and a healthy dose of hope) that EARCOS announces our in-person 52nd Annual Leadership Conference, from October 27-29, 2022 at the Shangri-la Hotel in Bangkok. The theme is Together, Again. It has been three years since we were last able to gather for a Leadership Conference. So many have written and called to tell us how much they have missed this annual special event. Please do join us.
Over the past two years, we have been fortunate to assemble an exceptional group of presenters who will help us explore some of the greatest issues, challenges and opportunities faced by international educators today. And what an incredible opportunity this offers to reconnect with so many colleagues from near and far.
All of us at EARCOS look forward to welcoming you to the 52nd Leadership Conference. Registration is now open. Don’t delay. This year’s conference promises to fill up quickly as so many are eager to come Together, Again after several years of separation.
See you in October!
