Agenda
Day 1
Networking and Refreshments
09:30 - 10:00
Arrive from 9:30 am to register and gain access to the Huddle to meet fellow Global Mobility professionals and enjoy some morning refreshments.
Welcome and Introductions
10:00 - 10:15
The Expat Academy team will kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick intro. We'll set the stage for an open, collaborative day where you can speak your mind and get real value.
Leadership Training - The Reframing Mindset - Part 1
10:15 - 11:15
How do you currently position Global Mobility's value? Through cost estimates and compliance? What if that's exactly what's keeping you tactical? In this provocative session, we'll explore how asking different questions can completely transform GM's strategic influence. Using real-world examples (including a fascinating story about speedometers), we'll uncover why the way you frame your work might be limiting your influence—and how leading organizations reframe the conversation entirely.
Networking Break
11:15 - 11:45
A chance to refuel and continue the conversations.
Leadership Training - The Reframing Mindset - Part 2
11:45 - 12:45
Time to put theory into practice. Through interactive exercises, you'll practice reframing real stakeholder conversations—transforming "What's the cost estimate?" into strategic discussions about talent development and business impact. Work in small groups to tackle actual scenarios from your world and leave with concrete language you can use on tomorrow.
Lunch
12:45 - 13:45
Counselling Corner
13:45 - 14:30
Influenced by attendees on the day, we will break out into topical groups and learn from each other, the experts, and if need be, we’ll get you some contacts to take away to continue the discussions further! Attendees will be contacted closer to the time to see what they want to discuss to match the content of the session to the needs of those joining us!
Industry Insights from AIRINC
14:30 - 15:15
Join AIRINC for an insightful session on global compensation trends, cost of living dynamics, and strategic considerations for international assignments. Gain practical insights into market movements and compensation strategies that support your mobility programs.
Networking Break
15:15 - 15:45
A chance to refuel and continue the conversations.
Corporate Updates and Hot Potatoes
15:45 - 16:30
Hear real-world updates from fellow members going through challenges, successes, and learn how they are navigating them. We'll also tackle any 'hot potato' questions attendees don't want to hold onto!
Perspective Playground
16:30 - 17:00
Get ready to have your perspectives stretched and assumptions challenged in this interactive Huddle session! We'll tackle (each other!) on the generational expectation differences within Global Mobility! You'll challenge fellow attendees in an avantgarde format that pushes us out of conventional thinking through spirited exchanges to strengthen your critical thinking. The session will leave you with new perspectives regarding GM's toughest trade-offs. Join us as we dispel one-track notions and advance as strategic, whole-minded mobility leaders!
Wrap Up & Networking Drinks
17:00 - 18:30
After a few short updates from the Expat Academy team about your membership benefits, join us for some networking drinks where the real conversations happen!

Testimonials
An Expat Academy membership is just what every Global Mobility professional needs! It has so much to offer ranging from networking, learning about several topics and GM trends, benchmarking and gaining different peer perspectives, to the strategic input of the ever-supportive core team who check-in regularly to help with any challenge(s) being faced.
I have personally been part of this community since 2019 and am glad to have continued to be the beneficiary of its offerings even when I switched employers.
