BEIJING, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 26th China Annual Conference & Expo for International Education (CACIE 2025), hosted by the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE), concluded in Beijing after four days of dynamic exchange. More than 5,000 participants from over 70 countries and regions gathered under the theme "Bridging Education and Beyond" to explore new pathways for international cooperation.

The conference featured a full agenda of opening plenary, parallel forums, exhibitions, and high-level meetings, offering a comprehensive platform for global education dialogue and partnership.

These sessions supported real-time matchmaking and furthered the shared mission of building high-efficiency collaboration networks.

Across 39 parallel forums, more than 500 speakers examined pressing issues such as global talent development, STEM education, vocational training, educational innovation, and digital transformation. Diverse voices from university administrators and EdTech pioneers to policy leaders contributed a wealth of perspectives and actionable solutions, underscoring education's central role in shaping resilient, equitable societies.
