2024 Annual Conference & Expo Survey Analysis

The NAFSA 2024 Annual Conference and Expo welcomed international educators from more than 100 countries in New Orleans, LA. We gathered to learn, network, and connect with peers and experts dedicated to "Resilience, Renewal, Community."  

JB International conducted both a quantitative and qualitative analysis on the data collected by NAFSA to compile an overall summation of the 2024 Annual Conference & Expo survey.
