SACM’s booth at the 5th International Exhibition & Conference on Higher Education (IECHE) 2014 in Saudi Arabia attracted a large turnout of visitors and students, whose queries and questions were adequately answered by SACM’s team. SACM’s team also displayed a video showing information about studying in Australia and the services provided by SACM to the Saudi sponsored students in Australia. Copies of SACM’s publications such as, inter alia, the “Legal Guide”, “ASDAA – the Cultural Status in Australia”, guides and fliers were also distributed to visitors. Remarkable achievements of Saudi sponsored students in Australia were also highlighted. The team further provided information about the Saudi Student Clubs in Australia and their venues and objectives, in order to encourage new sponsored students to join these clubs and make use of their services and activities.
A large number of officials, vice-chancellors of Saudi and foreign universities, media representatives, writers, intellectuals and Saudi sponsored graduates admired SACM’s booth and praised the services provided by SACM to the Saudi sponsored students in Australia, particularly the orientation and guiding prior to their travel to Australia.

With more than 250,000 visitors every year and tens of lectures and workshops, IECHE is the biggest event on higher education in the region.
