Three days of business, connection, and celebration in the heart of Europe — our ICEF Berlin 2025 experience was filled with meaningful meetings, new partnerships, and moments that reminded us why international education is as human as it is global.

06–NOV–2025 | Berlin never disappoints. This year’s ICEF Berlin 30th anniversary was a whirlwind of meetings, collaborations, and celebrations — and we brought it all home.

From early mornings to late evenings, PRODIREKT and Verbalists Education & Language Network reconnected with long-standing partners, met new educators, and secured major wins:

▶️ Five new U.S. university contracts

▶️ Expanded sports-camp offerings

▶️ Closer collaboration with the Malta Tourism Authority

▶️ Confirmed allocations for top summer camps in the UK, U.S., Valencia and Malta

▶️ More reserved spots for our growing Spanish destinations in Valencia, Malaga, and Barcelona

And that’s just the start!

We captured the energy, the business, and the joy of ICEF Berlin 2025 in a short reel that brings the event to life for our network, students and parents.

After the formal sessions, we were privileged to be invited by our partner German Language School (GLS) to a party held in their spectacular historic bathhouse in Prenzlauer Berg.

We joined over 2,300 international education professionals from 119 countries at ICEF Berlin 2025.

During the evening, Barbara Jaeschke, founder and still-leading figure of GLS, received a lifetime achievement award from IALC President Kevin McNally, honoring her vision and leadership in language education. GLS has been one of our earliest and most valued partners, so witnessing this recognition made the evening even more meaningful.

Three days filled with business meetings, laughter, dancing, and countless moments of friendship reminded us why this industry remains so human — and so inspiring.

A heartfelt thank-you to ICEF for 30 years of connecting educators, agents, and students around the world. Here’s to new collaborations, shared goals, and the students whose journeys we help shape every day.
