FAIR & SYMPOSIUM

Before and after the IC3 Conference, the IC3 Committees will host optional IC3 Fair & Symposium events in which university delegates can interact with students from high schools in the Mumbai area. Each 3-hour event will consist of two programs, run simultaneously: a traditional-style fair and an informational symposium. Hosted at high schools in the Mumbai region, these highly productive, optional events are available to university delegates as a separate add-on to their conference registration. Want to see what other universities are participating in the Fair & Symposium events? See the list of Participating Institutions and look for “(F&S)” (Fair & Symposium) next to the institution name.

University delegate registration for the IC3 Fair & Symposium events is available through conference registration, as an optional add-on item.

At the fair, universities will have the opportunity to meet students (currently in grades 9-12) and parents from leading high schools in Mumbai. Each participating university will be provided a table and two chairs, with university tables will be segregated by country and then arranged alphabetically. Universities are expected to set up their table 15 minutes before the fair begins.

The symposium will consist of 30-minute breakout sessions held in different classrooms throughout the host school. Topics will include emerging careers, education systems in various countries, the applications process, and more. Sessions will be presented by special guests, leading counselors, and university volunteers. Submit a session proposal for review here.

The IC3 Fair & Symposium will cover a wide range of regions. Encompassing the western suburban region along with central and south Mumbai, the IC3 Fair & Symposium will offer maximum coverage. Learn more about each location below.

Located in central Mumbai, Garodia International Centre for Learning will invite students from Ghatkopar, Chembur, Kurla, Thane, and adjacent areas.

Situated in the heart of south Mumbai, the IC3 Fair & Symposium at Aditya Birla World Academy expects a large number of students from leading schools from Dadar, Worli, Churchgate and other regions of South Mumbai.

Nestled in Juhu, this school in the western suburbs of Mumbai is close to other leading schools and is home to a large student population. Students from Andheri, Vile Parle, Santacruz, Khar, and Bandra are expected to attend.

Covering regions of Goregaon, Jogeshwari, and Powai, the Oberoi International School is strategically located where students from western suburbs and central Mumbai can easily reach the location.

Packed lunch boxes will be provided for university delegates during transition from the day’s first host school venue to the second.

If you plan to ship any materials, we suggest to ship to your hotel. Please work with your hotel directly to confirm the exact shipping address and any specific labeling information. We strongly recommend working with a shipping partner for your international shipping needs, as there are sometimes hang-ups in Indian customs. We recommend Air Concepts for this service: jen@airconceptsusa.com.

Plan to bring your standard fair materials to set up your table: branded tablecloth, tabletop display (no floor standees), etc. We suggest bringing 125-250 brochures/materials per day. Please also plan to bring enough business cards as per your prior fair experience.

NOTE: Actual use of all materials may vary. Use your own judgment based on previous experience. The suggested number of materials provided here is just a "best estimate" and based on average. If your school typically uses a lot of material, err on the maximum end of the range. If you typically do not use a lot of material, err on the minimum end of the range.
