The Via team is back from NAFSA 2025 in San Diego, and we’re still riding high from an amazing week of connection, collaboration, and inspiration.
Whether you joined us for our Good Vibes Happy Hour, stopped by our buzzing booth, or caught a glimpse of the local high schoolers in their Via t-shirts, thank you for making this year’s conference one for the books.
⛓️ A Week of Connection: Over 200 Conversations in 3 Days
This year, our booth (shout out #1345!) was a true hub of activity.
Over three days, we met with more than 200 international educators eager to modernize and streamline their global ed operations with our future-focused software.
The energy in the room was so electric we probably should’ve filed a risk report. 😉
Our team had a blast soaking up your stories, tackling your challenges, and sharing how Via is turning international education from a logistical maze into a smooth, global joyride.
🥂🌺 Let the Good Vibes Roll
Happy Hour with 250 of Our Favorite People!
Our 2nd NAFSA Good Vibes Happy Hour was the perfect conference-mid point where San Diego Sunrises flowed and only Good Vibes and Good Fun were allowed.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Travel Adventure Bingo, Brooke on her “Madonna/Brittany Spears Mic” (no one could agree!), and lots of light-hearted fun and laughter. If you have your own pics from the Happy Hour, please share on LinkedIn and tag Via + use #viagoodvibes. We’d love to see them!
🌍 "Study Abroad? Say Less."
Inspiring Future Gen Z Study Abroad Participants
Did you see 45+ high school kids wearing Via t-shirts running around the Expo Hall on Wednesday?
This year, we teamed up with NAFSA to host the Future Globetrotters Experience, where local high schoolers hit the expo hall with passports in hand (okay, it was a mobile app—but still). Full of curiosity and good vibes, they brought fresh energy to the international ed scene.
They asked bold questions, explored global opportunities, and reminded us why early engagement matters.
Supporting students at every stage is core to our mission—and their excitement? Total highlight.
🤩 We’re Too Excited to Sleep!
Just Six Months Left in 2025 – And We’re Not Slowing Down
Here are just a few of the challenges we are tackling over the next several months:
Issues with Faculty & Staff Travel Compliance?
Get ready for Proxy Workflows. Delegation tools will make faculty and staff travel management smarter, faster, and more compliant.
Managing Faculty Needs More Than Students?
The Partner Portal is coming. A dedicated space for faculty and staff to manage travel, proposals, ISSS requests, and more—all in one place.
Handling Course Approvals on Paper?
Course Approvals & Equivalencies is on the way. Customized workflows and smart routing will streamline academic decision-making.
Want to Automate Everything?
Next-Gen Automations are coming. More triggers, smarter actions, and fewer clicks—automation will get a serious upgrade across all products.
Supporting International Employees?
H-1B support is coming to Via International. Manage employment cases alongside F, M, and J records with unified profiles and automation.
But of course, that’s not all!
We’ve made 200+ product updates and enhancements in the last year – and we’re just getting started!
