The 2012 COBIS annual conference was attended by over 140 Heads, School Leaders, Governors, and guests from more than 90 British International schools worldwide. Over 50 countries were represented with schools from Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East, Australasia, and the Americas. Conference benefited from the participation of over 50 exhibitors who are 'experts in the field' - thank you once again to our generous sponsors and exhibitors for their support.
