Welcome to the Global Workforce Colloquium 2026.

This year, we're cutting through the noise with a simple truth: it's all about The Evolution, Not a Revolution.

The Global Workforce Colloquium is a unique event dedicated to the technical heart of our industry. This is where we go beyond the surface and dive deep into the most complex issues facing global workforce management. We bring together leading experts and dedicated practitioners for a full day of powerful technical presentations and in-depth, focused huddle discussions.

We believe that while the world of work is constantly changing, the core principles of effective global mobility remain the same. This event is dedicated to exploring how to apply our timeless expertise to today's biggest challenges. You'll leave with more than just notes; you'll get actionable, real-world insight from leading experts who have navigated the same challenges as you. This isn't about theory; it's about the practical application of knowledge, ensuring you're equipped to own the next phase of your role.

The local time of the event is 09:00 - 17:00 GMT

Testimonials

As someone who has only moved in house in recent years I found my first expat academy colloquium extremely useful for putting recent industry changes into context against the backdrop of what my peers are experiencing. The topics were relevant and well delivered and the allocated networking sessions meant the day was balanced and engaging. I look forward to the next event!
