Missions

One of the most popular and successful of QE’s activities is their Missions.

Schools meet Agents in their home country at these small, specialised workshops. Unlike the global ‘mega-workshops’, here schools and agents alike can have productive meetings in calm and congenial surroundings, conducive to building and reinforcing successful partnerships.

QE schools join the QE chief executive and travel to the markets to take part in one day events.  A typical day includes face to face meetings (pre-booked though Marcom) and an introduction to QE presented by Carolyn Blackmore.

Agents are always invited to join the QE schools for lunch at the venue, which is a local and conveniently located hotel.

The majority of representatives at the QE Missions are the school Principals or Directors. This is because they take an active part in marketing their schools to agents. They are also directly involved in the day-to-day running of the school so are the best people to talk to.

Cities in which QE has run missions, from 2004 to 2011, are:
Rome (3), Milan (2), Madrid (4), Moscow (3), Germany (4 centres), Budapest, Bratislava, Prague (2), Istanbul (2), Izmir, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Bogotá, Mexico City, Tokyo, Kyiv, Warsaw (2), Almaty, Taipei, Bangkok, Sao Paulo (2), Paris (2), Zurich (2), Santiago, Buenos Aires (2), Dubai.
