In September and October we had two major events hosted by IBA! Looking back at our opening ceremony, our leaders did a fantastic job at planning and executing this event! Many thanks to Andreas who assisted in organizing the fine details to make this event great! We hope the event gave you an opportunity to network and engage with the IBA community. A big thank you to all 350 of you who attended the ceremony and made this event unforgettable! We also had the opportunity to connect incoming students with upper year students in order to share insightful experiences about navigating graduation and UTM through our BizMentorship Panel. At IBA we value the power of networking and mentorship and this past month we want to appreciate all those who participated!

Getting started in the international development sector is like any other - it's competitive, crowded and noisy. Organisations are often overwhelmed with applicants, so anything you can do to make yourself relevant to their work could make all the difference. At Aleph Strategies we always look for people who show a real passion and interest in our sector. Use social and professional networking platforms to share thoughts/insights on current trends, engage with organisations that interest you, and best of all, attend online and in person events - just make sure you have a couple of good questions lined up for the Q&A sessions! #alephstrategies #internationaldevelopment #gettingajob #jobtip

Indeed, nurturing connections and inspiring futures is at the heart of what we do. Each academic year, PR students of UNIMAC-IJ organize a mentorship dinner, and this year's event marked the 3rd UNIMAC Mentorship Dinner. Last Saturday evening was a blissful, educational, and fun experience. We had the privilege to engage with four intelligent and experienced mentors: Eli Daniel-Wilson, George Quaye, Madam Sophia Kudjordji, and Madam Emma Wenani. They provided us with insightful and impactful sessions on event management, covering guidelines, challenges, and practical aspects of the job. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of PR in event management and the need to build a personal brand. Here are some key takeaways from our mentors: 1. The most important part of the event is the planning phase. Preparation is 50%, the event itself is 35%, and post-event activities are 15%. If the event is not coordinated properly on the day, the 50% planning becomes zero." - George Quaye 2. The event space is not an easy field to play in. One little slip, and you could ruin a life." - George Quaye 3. The biggest challenge in the event and entertainment industry is professionalism. Any country that takes its arts seriously goes far." - George Quaye 4. In building a personal brand, there may be difficult times. However, one must pick themselves up and move on." - Sophia Kudjordji 5. PR campaigns help shape people's opinions. Always be sure of what you are communicating." - Emma Wenani 6. You are never too young to make a difference." - Eli Daniel-Wilson The 3rd UNIMAC Mentorship Dinner was a resounding success, leaving us all inspired and better prepared for our future endeavors in the PR and event management industries. #UNIMACIJ #UNIMACMD24 #FOPAM #NurturingConnections #InspiringFutures

BUILA Exec member Francis G. has some top tips for those of you attending the #BUILAConference next week for the first time >>> Attending a BUILA conference? Here are my tips. I attended my first BUILA session in 2015, when I was relatively new to international education. Now, I am Director of Global Recruitment at Oxford Brookes University and an elected member of the BUILA executive. Of course, this means I'm incredibly biased about the value of the BUILA conference! I generally find conferences to be a place where I get a lot of inspiration, and where I start to think about issues we are facing in new ways. The BUILA conference is now a staple for many across the sector. I thought some new attendees may find my five tips useful, so here we go! ⭐ If you are attending one of the workshops the day before the conference (or during), then I'm sure you'll find it super rewarding. One of the great things about the BUILA conference is that you get directors, new International Officers, and more established staff attending. Joining the 101, 102, or Directors’ Forum allows you to meet colleagues with similar experiences in the industry. I've always found our sector to have so many brilliant opportunities to learn from your peer group, but that starts with finding them! ⭐ Speak to as many exhibitors as you can (even if you aren't a “decision maker” in your institution). One of the best ways to expand your skillset and your knowledge of how the sector is moving is to speak to private sector organisations about what they are doing and how they do it. It might just trigger something in your mind! ⭐ Go with a bit of a plan, but leave space for your unknown unknowns to breathe. If you have your entire day planned out you may end up missing some fantastic opportunities. You should arrive knowing what you want to get out of the conference, but make sure you leave space for the things you don't know about yet. ⭐ Challenge yourself with the sessions you attend. It will be helpful to go to sessions that are associated with your day to day role, but consider this your chance to expand your horizons - learn about a new region, or a different part of promoting universities. This year, I'm chairing panels on PR, and Campaigns. If you're a regional specialist, this might be a great chance to learn something new. ⭐ Check out the social events on the Tuesday evening. Several sponsors are hosting social activities very close to the venue, or in Birmingham. You can also go bowling with BUILA. It's a great chance to meet people from across the sector in a more relaxed environment.
