AIEA Leadership Insight Studio
Insights from international education leaders on what comes next
At the AIEA 2026 Annual Conference, Via partnered with AIEA to launch the first Leadership Insight Studio, a space for international education leaders to pause, reflect, and share what is top of mind for the field.
We asked leaders one timely question:
What is the one decision international education leaders need to get right in the next two years?
Their 90-second reflections surfaced both urgency and optimism. From AI, market diversification, transnational education, and career readiness to student well-being, equitable engagement, and the need to prove the impact of global education, their insights point to a clear theme: International education is changing quickly, and leaders are already building what comes next.
Watch the video montage, meet the leaders who contributed their perspectives, and download the full white paper for key takeaways from the Leadership Insight Studio.
