We welcome you to hear the stories of the Vanguards Network, as they share with you their spectacular feats under the Global Mobility big top.

Step right up for the most entertaining act in our circus! Think you've heard it all in Global Mobility? Think again. Join three of our most seasoned Global Heads as they share their most outrageous, unbelievable, and downright bizarre tales from the center ring of international relocation. These are the stories that never make it into the case studies or best practice guides.
 
In this candid, no-holds-barred session, our star performers will reveal the weird, wonderful, and sometimes shocking realities of what it really takes to keep global talent moving. From the utterly ridiculous to the surprisingly heart-warming, these stories showcase the extraordinary juggling acts GM professionals perform to make the impossible happen.

What happens under the big top, stays under the big top!
