The full Region VII Conference schedule will be available online in early September. Through the Online Planner you can view the time, room, presenters, descriptions, and learning objectives of the sessions. You can also star the events you're interested in and create your own conference agenda of sessions, exhibitors and activities that you don't want to miss!
Ideas with Quick Impact (I-QI)
The I-QI is a reimagining of the traditional poster fair session, in which presenters will share a tip, hack, brilliant idea, or simple solution that has improved their IE practice.
Interested in presenting? You can share an original idea, research summary, or work hack that you discovered. No I-QI is too big or too small to share! As long as you can explain it in 5 minutes, we want to learn from you!

Mentorship Program
The purpose of the NAFSA Region VII Mentorship program is to create a welcoming environment for new International Education professionals.
Mentors commit to four meetings with their mentees. Mentors should aim to meet with their mentee(s) twice virtually before the conference is held, once in person during the conference, and then one follow-up meeting post-conference. The mentor should have at least three years of experience in International Education, have knowledge of NAFSA and/or other professional resources, and have an interest in helping new professionals!
We understand that some members will not be attending the conference due to budget concerns, and we do not want this to interfere with your participation in the Mentorship Program. If you want to participate but will be unable to attend the conference, we encourage you to sign up! We want to be as inclusive as possible and help new professionals connect with seasoned practitioners.
