Boarding Expo 365 is a Virtual Expo, open to all Australian boarding schools reaching families right across Australia and overseas, wherever they call home.
The platform is a professional, fully immersive and engaging experience, bringing families to the ’table’ to discuss their needs at the earliest possible stage.
17 years ago we started out with one event in Dubbo. 15 boarding schools from Sydney and regional NSW put their faith in this ‘new’ model and turned up. So did 60 rural and remote families. Some driving up to 400 km to meet with and discuss their child’s education opportunities.
From there, Boarding Schools Expo Australia (BSEA) has welcomed over 10,000 children and their families to 52 face-to-face events.
We’ve grown alongside digital mediums of marketing and we’ve embraced new technologies and with that in mind, in 2022 we have proudly launched our virtual platform, ‘Boarding Expo 365’.
It’s been a very busy start up, and just as back in 2005, we’ve had 30 schools from Victoria, NSW, ACT, Queensland and NT show their faith in our dream and subscribe. And already we’ve had 150 visitors register (as of Oct 4, 2022).
We know that the virtual medium will grow, and it is with this absolute commitment to reaching families across Australia wherever they live, that we encourage you to showcase your boarding school on ‘Boarding Expo 365’.
