EVENT OBJECTIVE The Global Alumni Convention (GAC) is organised and managed annually by IDP Education (Cambodia) and leverages our local, regional and global office network and contacts. The GAC is held for two full days and incorporates a series of events including the Global Education & Business Forum, the Global Education & Career Expo and the Global Alumni Reunion. Focuses on the themes of reconnecting with learning, knowledge sharing and being inspired to fulfill education, professional and business potential. This global education and business forum presents attendees opportunities to learn about the pathways and successes that alumni have achieved, to gain insights into Cambodia s position in the world, and provides a platform for high-level discussions and interactive panel sessions with alumni leaders in government, business and civil society. The Happy Hour & Networking Cocktail Reception allows conversations to continue in a more relaxed atmosphere and for delegates to meet up and share experiences. Hosts education representatives from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Asian region as well as local & international companies, recruitment agencies and international governments to attract parents and students from all levels of study from high school to PhD. Students will be seeking guidance on and counselling from education and company representatives on destination and institution strengths, course options and the career paths open to them. Education and employer booths, presentations and sector-specific panel discussions allow for a high level of personal interaction to present students and parents with the best options and choices for them. Showcases the benefits of world class education systems and the opportunities they provide with alumni and key local and international stakeholders. The gala dinner event will celebrate education opportunities and achievements with attendees including graduates from all around the globe, representatives from local and international institutions, high-ranking officials from ministries and embassies, directors, CEOs and senior executives from business and civil society and senior IDP Education staff. 1
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE GAC HE Chea Sophara Senior Minister & Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction What makes pearls valuable is the string. I am impressed that the GAC was initiated not only in term of generating a platform for networking opportunities, but inspiring young Cambodian scholars around the world to return home and together maintain peace, sovereignty, and culture. HE Dr Hang Chuon Naron Minister of Education, Youth and Sport The Global Alumni Convention is a unique event which brings alumni, the government and industry together to discuss hot topics, network and share experiences. This event is an important symbol of the growth in Cambodia s human resources and I encourage all alumni, and industry leaders to take advantage of this opportunity. HE Alison Burrows Australian Ambassador to Cambodia January 2015 I encourage all Australian Alumni attending this convention to build your networks. As alumni from overseas universities you have all gained valuable new skills and knowledge and together you can make a great contribution to the Cambodia of tomorrow. HE Ben King New Zealand Ambassador to Cambodia This event offers an excellent opportunity for you to connect with other young people who have studied abroad, in a variety of different countries. You will have a unique opportunity to develop networks and to exchange ideas with people who have studied similar qualifications in different educational settings, permitting an enriched exchange of views and perspectives.

Sciaroni Chairman, American Chamber of Commerce, Cambodia AmCham Cambodia is a proud partner of the GAC as it focuses on the Cambodian business community s critical need for a better educated workforce.

HE Sun Chanthol Senior Minister & Minister of Public Works and Transport I m very pleased that IDP took the initiative to organise an event where all the alumni can get together and network and share best practices to improve either the company, the personnel, or the country itself so it is important. HE Hun Manet Lieutenant General Royal Cambodian Armed Force The GAC encourages a symbiotic relationship between government, industry and education. Establishing networks and partnerships across these three sectors is essential for Cambodia to effectively build, motivate and retain its human resources. I am very pleased to be participating in such a future-focused initiative. HE Bill Longhurst British Ambassador to Cambodia I am very happy that a community such as the GAC, where intellectual indulgence can happen, is going from strength to strength, and take pride in the fact that British Alumni organisations are significant contributors on both intellectual and social levels. Their keenness in working together with others to drive forward the development of Cambodia represents the best hope for the country. The British Embassy is honoured to have worked with them on their journey to realise their potential. Ms Chandina Chap Public Relations Manager, ABA Bank GAC 2016 Gold Sponsor.
