Member institutions may apply to host an ICDE International Conference aimed at a regional audience. An institution may thus draw upon ICDE’s resources to attract leading figures from the world of open and distance education to speak at the event.
International conferences give local institutions and host countries the opportunity to showcase their institutions, experts, and educational values and systems to a broad international audience. At the same time, such events have proven their ability positively to affect local attitudes and policy towards distance education.
