MiAid
Concurrent Session Sponsor and Pre-Conference Workshop Sponsor
MiAid is an Australian-developed, AI-enabled healthcare navigation and care coordination platform designed to improve access to healthcare for international students, education providers, and globally mobile communities.
Studying overseas is an exciting opportunity, but navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system can be challenging. Language barriers, uncertainty about where to seek care, after-hours health concerns, and difficulty accessing trusted medical services often contribute to unnecessary anxiety for students and additional welfare responsibilities for education providers.
MiAid addresses these challenges by combining intelligent digital technology with real human support. Through a single platform, students can access AI-guided health information, multilingual care coordination, telehealth services, appointment booking with vetted healthcare providers, specialist referral support, and ongoing assistance throughout their healthcare journey. Rather than replacing healthcare providers, MiAid acts as a trusted navigation layer, helping students reach the right care at the right time while reducing confusion and improving continuity of care.
For education institutions, MiAid complements existing student wellbeing programs by providing a scalable duty-of-care solution that extends beyond campus. The platform offers 24/7 support, multilingual communication, documented care coordination, and aggregated wellbeing insights, enabling institutions to better support international students while reducing administrative burden on student services teams.
As international education continues to evolve, MiAid represents a new model of student support—one that combines artificial intelligence, human empathy, and coordinated healthcare access. Our mission is simple: to ensure every international student feels informed, supported, and reassured, wherever they are, whenever they need help.

Duolingo English Test
Coffee Cart Sponsor
With over 600 million users, Duolingo is the world’s most popular way to learn languages and most downloaded education app of all time. Founded in 2011 by computer science Professor Luis Von Ahn, our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally accessible.
Aligned with the mission of making education more accessible, Duolingo launched the Duolingo English Test (DET) in 2016. The DET is an alternative to traditional high-stake testing — through a Duolingo-style experience: convenient, fast, secure and extremely affordable. Using AI and multiple rounds of remote proctoring, we enable students to take an English test online, on-demand, anywhere in the world.
There’s been tremendous growth in the adoption of the DET with nearly 6500 institutions now accepting it for admissions, including institutions such as MIT, Harvard, Imperial College London and the University of Toronto. In Australia more than 25 universities and 200 English and vocational colleges accept the DET.
Please visit us during the conference to learn more about how the DET can help your institution.
