NAFSA 2025 Experience
The NAFSA 2025 Annual Conference & Expo welcomed international educators from more than 100 countries in San Diego, CA. We gathered to learn, network, and connect with peers and experts dedicated to "Purpose, Place, and Partnership." This event is an experience unlike any other in international education. Enjoy this journey and join us next year at the NAFSA 2026 Annual Conference & Expo in Orlando, Florida!
