Which route into Vietnam fits your institution?
Two recruitment events. Three year-round channels. One honest comparison.
Pick the statement that fits your goals and we will point you to the right one - or tell us your situation and the VNIS team will advise against your actual recruitment target.
Which best describes you?
Global Connect Vietnam - March 2027

What institutions ask at this stage
We have never recruited in Vietnam. Where should we start?
Start free: list your institution in the VNIS directory so Vietnamese families and agents can find you. Then join one event - a single city of Global Connect Vietnam or USA Partner Connect - to test real demand before committing to representation.
Event or agent channel first?
An event is the fastest way to judge fit: you meet fifty counsellors in a day and hear what they can actually sell. Institutions that see traction usually move to Master Agent representation afterwards, with the relationships already warm.
Can a U.S. institution join both events?
Yes, and many will: September 2026 to open the agent channel, March 2027 to widen it into Central Vietnam through Da Nang.
We cannot travel this year. Are we out?
No. VNIS-represented participation (from US$950) runs your table at either event, and the VRC gives you a permanent local contact point without sending anyone.
