Every year, over 1,000,000 students worldwide leave their homes behind to leap into the unknown, often making one of the most important and expensive decisions of their lives. In the present context of many students globally looking to make smarter choices in their higher studies, Adventus.io, Sri Lanka’s first and trusted SaaS-based student recruitment platform, hosted a forum for Sri Lankan-based student recruitment agencies, to educate on an efficient and reliable way to engage with the international study market. 

The event was held on Thursday, 5 October at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo with the participation of over 100 student recruitment agencies from all over the country.
