The International Education Summit (IES) is an annual program designed by the World Affairs Council of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky with the goal to raise high school students’ awareness around ongoing global topics and global careers

We will offer an interactive informative workshop for students to engage with local educators and community partners. This year we will also offer an extended education and career component with local universities, business leaders, and career pathways related to the Global Goals etc., and our popular Speed Networking opportunity for students to meet diverse local professionals with international experience. (This is where we need YOU-link to form)


Speed Networker Role

As a Speed Networker, you will have the opportunity to empower young people
by sharing your experiences and career trajectory.
Speed Networkers encourage students to:

  • Broaden their global awareness
  • Navigate a globalized world
  • Bring a dynamic understanding of a global career or interests

During the hour, your role is to move from table to table to meet with students for
a total of about six times. This will include sharing for approximately 2-3 minutes
about global aspects of your life and career, and allowing 7-8 minutes for
students to ask questions.
