This May, more than 9,000 international educators flocked to the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, to attend the biggest gathering of its kind worldwide: the annual conference of the “Association of International Educators,” or NAFSA, the world’s largest nonprofit association dedicated to international education.
 This year’s conference also marked the 60th anniversary of NAFSA. During an entire week, participants from 111 countries exchanged ideas and best practices in international education. The conference offered a vast array of learning and networking opportunities for international educators, focusing on the most crucial topics in international education and exchange today: from study abroad and international student and scholar advising, to global education trends and systems, and international education policy.
