These are the specialised 'think tanks' that give delegates the arena to develop best-practice ideas. Special Interest Groups enable delegates to form networks and focus on their particular area within the broader field of international education. These SIG meetings have spawned innovation and National initiatives in the past, where the knowledge and experience of long-standing ISANA members and the enthusiasm of newcomers combine to move our individual areas of expertise into exciting new developments. They are often attended by Government representatives who want to get a real feeling for a particular area of the industry. Or you can request your SIG Chair to invite them! The first afternoon of the Conference, Wednesday, is set aside for SIGs to meet for introductions and setting of agendas, followed by main discussions on Thursday afternoon.
