In this special joint webinar, hosted by Betty Ho, Academic Summer and Living Learning English come together to share insights, success stories and strategic updates for international education agents worldwide. Some of the topics covered include:
🦊 Welcome and Industry Overview
Academic Summer / LLE CEO Helen Lami opens with a powerful reflection on the changing international education landscape in 2026, addressing market shifts, parental expectations, safeguarding, quality standards and the importance of long term trust.
“There are lots of opportunities and we want to raise the bar, not lower it,” she said, “I think it’s a time to raise the level of inspiration and impact more student’s lives than ever.”
Helen also talked about having a ‘fox mentality’. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there is a fox in the Academic Summer logo. A fox survives not because it’s the loudest in the forest and definitely not because it’s offering the biggest discount. It survives because it watches carefully, it adapts intelligently and it protects its standards.” Read: Stronger together in 2026: Helen Lami shares the power of international education partnerships.
