Bayt.com, the region’s number one career site, will host its annual virtual education event, EdExpo, on June 1 to June 3, 2015. Anyone can register online for free and connect with the admission departments of top international educational institutions, including Cass Business School, Amity, and University of Wollongong, all from the comfort and convenience of his or her home or office.

EdExpo introduces an innovative approach to empower people in the Middle East to enroll at universities, locally and internationally. The hassle-free, online fair connects educational opportunities and people interested in furthering their education.

Attendees can interact one-on-one with admission officers real-time through text, audio, and video chat, and get advice on university applications, increasing their chances of enrolling at the world’s best universities. They can also find the best program to develop their skills, and learn more about specialized courses, campus facilities, and available scholarships.

“In line with our mission to empower people with the tools and information to build their lifestyle of choice, EdExpo will make it really easy for anyone in any country in the Middle East to make informed decisions about their education,” said Muhammad Younas, Product Director, Bayt.com and vFairs. “Over the years, vFairs – a Bayt.com product – has held dozens of successful virtual events in the Middle East, providing people globally with access to world-class regional education and employment opportunities. By offering complete flexibility to anyone attending the event to access it from anywhere and at any time, vFairs has been a phenomenally successful platform in the region. Our last EdExpo attracted over 15,000 registered professionals from 50 different countries, with more than 50,000 site hits in just five days, and this year’s EdExpo looks even more promising!”

"We're very excited to meet with people from all around the Middle East at the Bayt.com EdExpo," said Amanda Line, PwC Partner. "It's an innovative and easy to use platform and our programme advisors look forward to sharing opportunities with the attendees." 

Lindsay Degouve de Nuncques, head of ACCA Middle East said: “ACCA are delighted to be participating in the upcoming Bayt.com virtual education fair. This is an excellent opportunity for us to use the latest technology to connect with people interested in continuing their professional development and furthering their careers in a way that is convenient, simple and engaging for them. It should be a fantastic online forum with quality content and presentations that really is the future of education fairs.”
