left;\"><strong>October 1-4, 2018, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TAICEP (The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professionals) held its fourth annual conference in the City of Brotherly Love \u2013 Philadelphia, PA. The 2018 meeting was TAICEP\u2019s largest one yet, with international credential evaluators from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s conference theme, Working Together to Ensure Integrity in International Credential Evaluation, was exemplified in the selection of session topics presented by member and non-member experts in the field of international credential evaluation. Attendees had the enviable task of choosing among 40 sessions (see the brochure below for a list of the offerings).<\/p>\n<p>As far as the overall conference experience, it is attendees who sum it up best. Here are some of the comments from colleagues, in response to the question:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you like most about the conference? <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The fact that all the sessions were relevant and I didn\u2019t have to struggle to glean information from unrelated or partially related sessions, which is what I had to do at the last two [conferences]that I attended. I also enjoyed reconnecting with long-time colleagues and meeting new ones.<\/li>\n<li>I get to see how other universities are dealing with international students. I get to meet people from all over the world. I get to ask questions to professionals in the field.<\/li>\n<li>The conference is all about what we do on a daily basis.<\/li>\n<li>The sessions. What a great chance to learn from one another and to discuss small but important issues.<\/li>\n<li>The high level of sessions presented while also meeting the needs of newcomers to the field.<\/li>\n<li>I enjoyed that everyone was very friendly and that sessions about working remotely and upward mobility were included.<\/li>\n<li>The diversity of people and perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At TAICEP, it\u2019s \u201call credentials, all the time.\u201d We hope you\u2019ll join us for another exciting and educational TAICEP conference in Vancouver, Canada in 2019!<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Philadelphia conference, please check out the information below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taicep.org\/taiceporgwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Brochure-2018-Conference.pdf\">Brochure<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibitors<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ECE<\/li>\n<li>AICE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sponsors<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NACES, $2500<\/li>\n<li>SPANTRAN, $2500<\/li>\n<li>ICAS, $1000<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation Service, Inc., $500<\/li>\n<li>CIMEA, $250<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Organizers (BIG THANKS!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Timothy Kell &#8211; ECE<\/li>\n<li>Denise Benz \u2013 Laureate Education<\/li>\n<li>Tatianna McKenna&nbsp; &#8211; ECE<\/li>\n<li>Sulaf Al-Shaikhly \u2013 World Education Services<\/li>\n<li>Chiara Finnocchietti &#8211; CIMEA<\/li>\n<li>Diana Henze \u2013 University of Amsterdam<\/li>\n<li>Kate Freeman \u2013 SpanTran: The Evaluation Company<\/li>\n<li>Shereen Mir-Jabbar &#8211; The Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (SPECIAL THANKS for marketing support!!!)<\/li>\n<li>Roger Hur &#8211; ICES (SPECIAL THANKS for wonderful conference photos!!!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pictures!&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TAICEP 2018 Conference Highlights\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_Ay0gaQwgs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>*For TAICEP members and conference attendees only (you should have received an email with the access password).&nbsp; If not, please <a href=\"https:\/\/taicep.org\/taiceporgwp\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 1-4, 2018, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania TAICEP (The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professionals) held its fourth annual conference in the City of Brotherly Love \u2013 Philadelphia, PA.
