For institutions

Be One of Just 20 Carefully Selected Exhibitors, not one of two hundred.

By carefully limiting the number of participating exhibitors, Lekkside Education Fair gives each exhibitor greater visibility, more meaningful conversations, and better access to qualified students + credible data + measurable recruitment outcomes + a safe/controlled brand environment.

The arithmetic

Most fairs sell you footfall. We focus on quality instead.

We deliberately limit the number of institutions so every exhibitor gets greater visibility, meaningful conversations, and direct access to serious, qualified students.

  • ✓Students register and are counselled before the fair
  • ✓They arrive with documents ready for on-the-spot assessment
  • ✓Success is measured in applications generated, not turnstile numbers
  • ✓School principals, counsellors and parents attend alongside students
