On October 17, American Councils for International Education celebrates 50 years of excellence in public diplomacy, language acquisition, and cultural exchange programs with the conference, Public Diplomacy and International Exchange in the 21st Century. Cohosted by George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs, the conference will gather diplomatic, government, business, and academic leaders whose expertise will enliven discussions on the transformative power of international education and its vital role in today’s diverse and interconnected world. 

The conference will feature discussions on the future of global education and study abroad programs, underscoring American Councils' mission to strengthen international ties and mutual understanding between countries, people, and communities.

While the event will be held in person with limited seating in Washington, DC, it will also be streamed live on Zoom where all of our friends and partners from around the world may attend these important conversations virtually.
