Agenda

Day 1

Welcome & Introduction
14:00 - 14:05

Enjoy a warm welcome from the Expat Academy team. We will run you through the agenda and set the scene for the session.

Huddle Discussion - Keeping Mobility Human Centred in a Cost and Compliance Driven World
14:05 - 14:55

Navigating the dual pressure of strict corporate compliance and tightening budgets can often mean the employee experience takes a back seat. This session will explore how we can effectively meet crucial business needs whilst maintaining the essential human touch that ensures international assignments and relocations succeed.

Corporate Insight
14:55 - 15:10

Hear directly from a corporate peer as they pull back the curtain on their current global mobility function. They will share a candid look at the live projects they are delivering, how they are managing business-as-usual demands, and the real-world challenges they are tackling right now.

Break
15:10 - 15:20

We'll take a short break to grab a drink before the second half of our Virtual Huddle

Strategic Update: Technical Insights with Vialto Partners
15:20 - 15:50

Join us for an interactive briefing with the experts at Vialto Partners as they unpack the latest shifting trends and regulatory updates impact the global mobility landscape. This session will provide a practical overview of the key technical developments you need to know to keep your programme ahead of the curve.

Huddle Discussion - Beyond the Headcount: Redefining Mobility Metrics to Solve the Resourcing Crisis
15:50 - 16:20

With global mobility teams increasingly managing bespoke, non-traditional moves and complex cross-border queries, tracking standard assignment numbers no longer reflects the true weight of the workload.

Backed by recent pulse survey data showing that burnout and overstretched resources are now critical industry concerns, this huddle will discuss how to gather the right metrics to demonstrate the true value add of your team to leadership and secure the resources you actually need.

Wrap up and finish
16:20 - 16:30

The Expat Academy team will wrap up the huddle with a fabulous overview of what we have discussed and share some insights and updates from the team

Thank you for a fantastic APAC huddle. It was a really well thought out agenda, with a great mix of interesting topical areas presented and lots of opportunity to discuss. Another great opportunity to share ideas, make new contacts/expand network in the region and of course that reassurance that there are other people out there facing similar challenges. I always come away from an Expat Academy event thinking my time has been really well spent!
