The theme of this years conference and the education resource expo was "keeping the spirit of Chinese education, integration between Chinese and international education, and opening up new opportunities". The topics discussed focused on leadership and operations management, international early childhood education, student core competencies, curriculum, resources and evaluation, international education investment and financing and imagining the schools of the future.

Another important theme of this annual conference concerned women in leadership at international schools. In the context of global innovation and development, women have become an important force in promoting political, cultural, economic and educational progress.
