Roundtable Discussion - Talent Strategy vs Reality: Navigating US Friction and Deployment Routes
13:10 - 14:00
Getting talent into and across the US is taking longer, costing more, and hitting more administrative hurdles than ever.
In this open discussion, we will share practical insights on how mobility teams are stepping up as strategic advisors to the business. We will explore how peers are managing stakeholder expectations through immigration delays, handling shadow mobility risks, and using alternative talent corridors when traditional visa routes stall.

An essential briefing on the latest regulatory shifts, filing changes, and policy developments impacting the US mobility landscape.

Roundtable Discussion - Policy in Practice: Balancing Core-Flex, Housing Costs and Employee Support
14:50 - 15:20
Once a move gets the green light, delivering a smooth relocation within budget is easier said than done.
With high rental markets and tight corporate spend, traditional assignment packages are getting a complete refresh. We will dive into what is actually working on the ground: structuring Core-Flex mobility wallets, tackling US housing bottlenecks, and keeping a genuine human touch at the heart of your policy design.
