The Future of Student Discovery: How to get found when AI builds the shortlist. Live webinar, 5 November – register here.

    Higher Ed Virtual Roundtable

    Countdown to 2027

    Every year brings its surprises. But 2026 has been a year that's genuinely shifted the ground beneath international student recruitment, and as we head into the final stretch, it's time to take stock.

    What worked? What didn't? And what do the signals from this year tell us about where recruitment is heading in 2027?

    In this end-of-year roundtable, Keystone brings together a panel of senior voices from across the higher education sector to reflect honestly on the year that was.

    Thursday 19th November 2026 

    8:00am EST | 13:00 GMT | 14:00 CET

    From AI and discoverability to shifting student expectations, policy headwinds, and the communications strategies that cut through, this is a frank, peer-level conversation for recruitment and marketing leaders who want more than a year-in-review slide deck.

    Join our panel of leaders from across the higher education industry for a real and honest conversation about what the sector has learned, and what it means for the year ahead.

    We'll explore:

    • The biggest shifts in international student recruitment in 2026

    • What this year's data and trends tell us about student behaviour and decision-making

    • How institutions adapated their strategies, and what they'd do differently

    • The opportunities and challenges heading into 2027
