We are thrilled to announce the theme for the IIE Summit on Generation Study Abroad: "Doubling Study Abroad by 2020."

This inaugural summit, taking place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC, on October 1–2, 2015, will bring together commitment partners to facilitate the sharing of best practices and the development of new partnerships and ideas that will advance our collective goal of doubling the number of U.S. students who study abroad by the end of the decade.

The Generation Study Abroad Summit Committee encourages innovative and collaborative session proposals that explore new paradigms for the way professionals across sectors talk about study abroad. The committee seeks proposal submissions by individuals and panels, and welcomes innovative and participatory models such as think tanks and mini workshops. 

More information and a full description of the proposal process are coming soon and will be shared on the Generation Study Abroad Summit webpage.
