Take a look at what our attendees said about their experience at The PIE Live events in 2022.
This event left me inspired. The sessions were a great balance of current trends and
important topics in the field. I got a lot of each session for my role in study abroad and
working with international students. It was also good to hear the policy perspective from
Canada. From an institution from the US, we oftentimes go to international vers connecting
with our own neighbors. I have been inspired to be a presenter at future Pie Events and also
other conferences. I really appreciate having the opportunity to attend. I took 9 pages of
notes in the two days and almost two weeks after the even I am still reflecting on the
content that was shared during the sessions. One big takeaway in this event, for me, was
that we all experience the same challenges and successes. It is critical that we work together
in the field to learn and become better international educators. Together we can make a
difference. I left the event excited to know that there are other passionate educators in the
field. Thank you!
Absolutely one of the best logistics team I've ever seen at a conference. Well done.It was my pleasure to attend and contribute.
I was so glad to be there and to have the opportunity to reconnect with our IE community in Canada.
The event program had one of the strongest partnership ‘tracks’ I’ve ever seen. I really enjoyed the quality and quantity of content focused on partnership building, even the quick session on MOUs! It’s an area of international that often doesn’t get enough attention.
I also really enjoyed the style of the panel sessions, they felt relaxed and inviting.
Congratulations to you and the team!
Congratulations for the success of the first The PIE Live North America!! You are all an amazing team that connects the higher education international community worldwide and providing international insights/trends. Can’t wait to hear about the venue for next year!
I just returned from The PIE event in Toronto. It was great to see old colleagues and to meet new colleagues. Being in the same room with so many professionals who are working to move the field of International Education forward is so inspiring. Coming away with a lot of good ideas and great contacts! Can’t wait to build on these relationships!
Day 1 of The PIE Live North America was brilliant and I was blown away at the number of people in attendance! I had a great day attending a couple of really interesting conference sessions whilst catching up with old friends and colleagues in Canada whilst meeting new ones!
Congratulations on your first PIE event in Canada! It was my first one which lead to many great introductions and some very productive business meetings! Such a win! Thank you!
