Discover and discuss data and insights at the cutting edge of the English language teaching industry at the English UK Marketing Conference this Friday.

To our knowledge, English UK is the only association in the language travel industry to analyse industry data on both an annual and a quarterly basis.

In 2017, together with our insight partner StudentMarketing, we launched QUIC – an unparalleled quarterly statistics initiative to help our members identify market trends and opportunities. In 2018, we piloted a new in-depth data project, inlcuding face-to-face interviews with a researcher. This is an exciting initiative that English UK will be rolling out in 2019, which could set a new gold standard for industry intelligence.

In two sessions at the English UK Marketing Conference, Patrik Pavlaci will showcase English UK’s intelligence activities and give an overview of their most interesting findings. A panel of English UK member centre representatives, chaired by Jodie Gray, will then discuss how they use the data to inform decisions and recruit students.
