GETEX experienced high-quality visitors, with many universi es sa sfied with admissions achieved during the
exhibi on.

“As commi ed organisers of GETEX with the mission to provide our par cipants with the best possible access to
students, we will provide exhibitors of GETEX Spring 2024 with con nued marke ng support leading up to their

September student-intake. Addi onally, our aim is to facilitate a student-outreach programme for universi es

unprecedented rains and consequent flooding. We take pride in our University-School rela onships and believe
