Matthew was asked to present at the African Student Recruitment Conference in 2009 and 2010, an event organised by Worldview International and held annually at the Wembley Plaza Hotel. His presentations highlighted the strategies required to recruit successfully from Africa with emphasis on West Africa.
During late 2010, Matthew was guest speaker at the first African Leaders in Education Summit held in London.
