Flywire Fusion

First takes from our first-ever U.S. Education Client Conference & Award Ceremony

Our inaugural U.S. Education Client Conference & Award Ceremony was full of inspiration, collaboration, and connections among 125+ attendees at the Wigwam Resort in Phoenix. Check out some of the highlights from the three-day event.

Conference takeaways

Over three days, more than 100 attendees from public and private institutions gathered in Phoenix to talk about how they are making the financial path to higher education smoother for all students — whether they live in the U.S. or come to study from somewhere else in the world – and learn more about how Flywire is continually innovating technology to help them do just that.

Fusion Star Award winners

After a day of connecting and collaborating, Flywire Fusion attendees strolled down the “Blue Carpet” and into the first Flywire Fusion Star Awards ceremony, where U.S. higher education institutions had the chance to celebrate one another and the contributions they make to ensuring student success.

  • Flywire has been critical in enhancing the payment options we can offer for the University of Connecticut’s students and families, Since partnering with Flywire in 2022 to streamline our cross-border and domestic payments, my department has been able to double the number of students enrolled in interest-free payment plans. This has not only helped drive affordability but also cut down on my team’s admin time.
