StepUp Education and StepUp NZ Global are proud to share that Mr. Kapil Bhutani, Managing Director, represented our organizations at ICEF Australia, one of the most influential events in the international education landscape, focused on the Australian education market.

ICEF Australia is a premier networking platform that connects leading Australian education institutions with trusted student recruitment partners and education service providers from around the world. The event plays a critical role in fostering collaboration, strengthening partnerships, and discussing the evolving dynamics of international student recruitment in Australia.

During ICEF Australia, Mr. Kapil Bhutani engaged in meaningful discussions with representatives from Australian universities, vocational institutions, pathway providers, and global education partners. These interactions helped reinforce existing relationships while opening doors to new collaborations aligned with Australia’s education standards and compliance frameworks.

His participation reflects StepUp’s ongoing commitment to staying closely connected with key destination markets and ensuring that our students and partners benefit from accurate guidance, ethical practices, and up-to-date market insights. ICEF Australia also offered valuable perspectives on policy updates, visa trends, student support expectations, and future opportunities within the Australian international education sector.

By representing StepUp Education and StepUp NZ Global at ICEF Australia, the event further strengthened our mission of delivering transparent, reliable, and globally connected education pathways. The insights gained will help us enhance our offerings, expand institutional partnerships, and continue supporting students in achieving their academic and career goals in Australia.

We look forward to applying the learnings from ICEF Australia to create greater value for our students, partner institutions, and B2B associates, and to remaining actively engaged in leading international education forums worldwide.
