The Fair

At the booths, you will speak directly with admissions officers, not marketing staff. Admission requirements and tuition fees are transparently displayed. The "Zankoline Clinic" in Hall C is fully operational; simply bring your grades and phone, and our staff will assist you until your application is submitted. The event focuses on providing factual guidance without any high-pressure sales tactics.

The exhibition is built around institutions capable of providing immediate, direct answers to students. To maintain a purely academic environment, commercial exhibitors are seated in a separate designated area.

• Public and private universities/institutes from the Kurdistan Region and Federal Iraq.
• International universities from Turkey, Jordan, the Gulf, Europe, and North America.
• Scholarship providers, language testing centers, and financial aid consultants.
• Vocational institutes and technical training centers.

The Cultural Factory is structured into three interconnected halls on a single level. The floor plan is displayed at every entrance and is available for download on our website.

• Hall A: International universities and premium booths.
• Hall B: Regional and Iraqi institutions, plus the Day 1 Conference.
• Hall C: Zankoline Clinic, Scholarship Desk, and Seminar/Workshop rooms.

Approximately 40 sessions will take place over the three days, including application clinics, keynote speeches, parent sessions on funding education, and student competitions. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your preferred sessions.

Entry is entirely free. While pre-registration is optional, having a QR Code badge ensures a seamless experience. Register online beforehand to receive your digital badge directly via WhatsApp.

• Bring your grades: A clear photo on your phone is sufficient for most universities.
• ID Required: Necessary if you plan to take language tests or open a scholarship file.
• Parking: Free parking is available behind Hall C.
• Best time to visit: Day 1 is the busiest. For a quieter, more relaxed conversation, we recommend visiting on the afternoon of Day 3.
