The International House Directors’ Conference 2025 is set to take place in the vibrant city of Palermo, Sicily from the 8th to the 10th of May, bringing together school leaders, educators, and professionals from across the global IH network. Hosted by IH Palermo Language Centre, the conference promises to be an inspiring gathering, focusing on key themes that are shaping the future of international education.

This year’s sessions will dive deep into areas such as Innovation, Leadership, Collaboration, Business Development, and Marketing & Communication. With the industry continuing to evolve rapidly, these topics are more relevant than ever for directors seeking to grow their schools and adapt to new global challenges.

For us at Schools & Agents, Palermo holds a special place in our hearts. It was back in 2013, in this very city, that we attended our first-ever IH event—a milestone moment that launched years of friendships, learning, and unforgettable experiences within the International House community. Though we won't be attending in person this time, the nostalgia and significance of the location are not lost on us.

We’re eagerly looking forward to seeing the conference highlights and updates from our IH friends. We know that, as always, the IH Directors’ Conference will be a brilliant mix of meaningful discussion, strategic insight, and genuine connection.

Here’s to another successful event in a city that continues to inspire!
