Remember the JISE International School Fair? For over fifteen years, it was a major event on our calendars. But over time, its impact faded. Why? Because the traditional format—crowded halls and quick chats at booths—stopped meeting what families really needed.
Parents told us they wanted more. They wanted to genuinely feel a school’s community and values, not just collect brochures. So, we evolved.
We took the core purpose of JISE and transformed it into something deeper: Culturopolis.
We’re giving a select group of top-tier schools a bigger stage for real interaction. We then built on that foundation with what we do best: creating vibrant, authentic community experiences. This means a dedicated **international food festival** with unique global cuisines, a lively **community stage** featuring our second International School Battle of the Bands, and a bustling **market** with over 60 creative vendors. A dedicated **services zone** brings together essential health and wellness resources for internationally minded families.
This is the new model. It’s an experiential, engaging space designed for connection, not just information.
Culturopolis is where your school’s community can be felt, not just described. It’s where families spend a day belonging, not just shopping. This is where you need to be.
Join us to help build this new annual tradition.
January 31 & February 1. Connect. Belong. Thrive.
Attendance is free with advanced registration
We still have a few booths and sponsorship opportunities available! Contact TBJ Butler for deets.
