AgentsConnect — termly 1:1 speed networking with UK schools
Three times a year, vetted agents and Club ISS schools meet online for structured 1:1 sessions. Every agent gets dedicated time with every participating school — long enough to be substantive, paced well enough to cover real ground. Members attend free. Non-members pay £250 per event.
Members can also speak at AgentsConnect and ISS Show events — building profile with the admissions teams and sector audiences that matter most.
