Thank you to for sponsoring Junction91 Gathering 2026 as a gold Sponsor! #

Internationalisation today isn’t driven by budgets or rankings alone—it’s built through visibility. Students and partners connect not with institutions in the abstract, but with compelling stories of purpose, collaboration, and real-world impact.

On 31st January at the Junction91 Gathering, Gen Next Education is hosting a practical masterclass on Building Global University Brands Through AI Storytelling, designed specifically for SIOs, International Directors, and senior leaders responsible for international growth and partnerships.

The session led by our guest mentor Pallav Kaushish (EPYC) will unpack:

🔹 How to craft a distinctive institutional story that cuts through global noise
🔹 How to produce consistent, high-quality LinkedIn content with minimal effort
🔹 How AI can turn existing institutional material into powerful global stories

Our intent is simple: we want to help universities transition from being globally capable to globally visible.
