Taking place on the 2 and 3 March at St Anne's College, Oxford, the English UK ELT Management Conference is a prestigious and important event on the ELT calendar and is the UK's leading event for practising ELT managers.

A news story issued to most national and local media in November 2011 which wrongly claimed that fully-accredited English language centres had been "banned" from bringing international students into the country has been corrected. The Press Association has agreed to clarify the story by sending out a corrected statement to all its media customers.

The Kurdistan Regional Government UK Representation will be running a one day conference on Monday 30 January. This conference will give British universities and educational & training institutions the opportunity to hear about developments in this dynamic emerging nation's higher education sector.

The ELT Marketing Conference is an important forum for professionals who are involved in the sales and marketing of English language and other courses to international students. In addition to our keynote and plenery speakers, we are pleased to announce that Ms Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the Kurdistan Regional Government's High Representative to the UK, will now be joining us to lead a market information session on Kurdistan.

Today, as part of their 'GREAT Britain - You're Invited' marketing programme, VisitBritain launched a free industry toolkit designed to help all UK businesses, however big or small, to leverage the campaign.
