When choosing where to host EdSummit 2025 in Europe, Madrid stood out immediately. 

The Spanish capital has become much more than a beautiful city full of history and culture; it’s now a strategic hub where the international education industry finds fertile ground to grow.

Its location, talent, ecosystem, and community make it one of the most exciting places in Europe to meet, connect, and do business.

1) Connectivity & Strategic Location

One of Madrid’s biggest advantages is connectivity. Few European cities can claim such a strong link with Latin America, North America, and the rest of Europe. Direct flights bring people together in just a few hours, turning Madrid into a natural bridge between continents. 

For agencies and schools seeking to expand their networks, this accessibility is invaluable, as it facilitates partnerships more easily and fosters collaboration more sustainably.

2) Talent, Ecosystem & Networks

Beyond its global connections, Madrid is also a city of talent. With more than half a million university students and a young, multilingual workforce, it’s a place where global mindsets come naturally. 

Many professionals here are equally comfortable working with European, Latin American, and Asian markets —a skill set that international education relies on more than ever.

This talent thrives within a vibrant educational ecosystem. Madrid is home to leading universities, international schools, vocational centers, and an expanding EdTech scene.

Together, they create an environment where innovation in learning and collaboration in business are not just possible, but encouraged. Agencies and educators who enter this ecosystem find opportunities to experiment, to scale, and to discover new models of growth.

Equally important is the strength of local associations and networks. Organizations like ASEPROCE, which has been supporting Spanish agencies for decades, play a key role in ensuring quality and professional standards. 

Meanwhile, chambers of commerce and international education groups make Madrid a welcoming place for schools and providers who want to explore the Spanish market.

3) Event Momentum & Making the Most of EdSummit

And then there is the calendar. Madrid has become a regular stop for industry fairs, mobility events, and educational conferences, which means the city is already buzzing with conversations about the future of international education. 

Adding EdSummit to that calendar feels natural: it brings together our global community in a city that is already used to hosting decision-makers and innovators.

For us, the choice of Madrid is clear. It’s not just about the event, but about the environment that surrounds it. A city where flights converge, talent is abundant, partnerships are nurtured, and ideas are exchanged. 

That’s why we believe the conversations starting at EdSummit Madrid will go far beyond the event itself; they will turn into partnerships that shape the future of our industry.
