Speaking Engagements at 2020
International Education & Marketing Events
Presenting at Upcoming International Education and Marketing Events
As Founder and Managing Director of Jackfruit Marketing, Jackie Kassteen is often on the road delivering inspiring keynotes and interactive masterclasses to an international education audience.
The year 2020 has obviously been a slow one for international travel, however, we continue to run several online training sessions and masterclasses for our clients. Jackie has also appeared as a guest lecturer online for State University of New York (SUNY) Albany and Coventry University.
Looking ahead, we are particularly excited to present at a number of online conferences and to launch a brand new event, the only one of its kind dedicated exclusively to the scholarship landscape.
