Why Exhibit at NAFSA 2022?
As the largest international education event in the world, the NAFSA Annual Conference & Expo is the ideal opportunity to share the latest developments and innovative solutions.

A majority of conference attendees spend more than 62% of their conference time at the Expo Hall, and 90% of exhibitors say they will exhibit at the Expo again.

Exhibitor Feedback
"NAFSA continues to be ‘the’ event to highlight the vast amount of different universities located in the German Southwest that are present each year at the Baden-Württemberg Universities booth. Among international educators and the international audience, it is thus an equal opportunity to foster old relationships and collaborations as well as to establish new ones. Therefore, it can simply be summed up as a fruitful and enjoyable event that has an implicit but everlasting impact on the global knowledge economy."
-Baden-Württemberg, longtime NAFSA exhibitor
"Exhibiting has allowed us the opportunity to promote our various Michigan State University programs like the American Semester Program & Exchanges. It is a great way to meet key international partners by providing them a defined meeting locale. We have found that our staff and alumni also enjoy having a space that they can be proud to call their own."
-Michigan State University, longtime NAFSA exhibitor
NAFSA is a ‘must attend’ event for any organization looking to engage with institutions and agencies that support international student programs. CORT has benefited greatly from our participation with NAFSA, generating numerous business opportunities and increasing awareness of our furniture rental services with universities and student agencies."
