10:00-10:40 CEST Panel: Beyond the Boarding Pass: Reimagining Business Travel in a Global Workforce
Business travel today is more complex than ever. What was once largely a logistical exercise has become a critical part of workforce strategy, with organisations navigating compliance, tax, immigration, duty of care, sustainability and employee experience across an increasingly mobile workforce.
ECA’s compliance experts and in-house practitioners will discuss how business travel has evolved since COVID-19, covering compliance, tax, immigration, duty of care and sustainability. They’ll also explore how greater workforce visibility can help organisations manage risk, make informed decisions and build more resilient travel programmes.
In Partnership with David Livitt, Partner at Blick Rothenberg alongside Jeanette Ryan at ECA Intnernational

Beyond compliance: Redefining frictionless business travel
Business travel is evolving, and organisations are facing new challenges around compliance, risk, employee expectations and workforce visibility. Expectations for a seamless traveller experience continue to rise. Can you achieve both?
Join this breakout session and your peers for an interactive discussion on what's changing, how organisations can move beyond simply meeting policy requirements to create a business travel programme that's both compliant and effortless. We'll discuss where friction exists today, what different stakeholders value most, and how technology, policy and process can work together to deliver better outcomes for everyone.Bring your experiences, questions and ideas as we explore the future of business travel together.
In Partnership with Sean Majewski and Sigrid Stangl at ECA International
Think Bigger Than the Platform - Stop comparing like for like. Start asking what’s now possible
Global Mobility technology is moving fast, all but too often, the conversation is focused on improving the way things work today.
This session takes a pause to explore what Global Mobility could look like if we designed it around the technology now available to us. What processes would disappear? What becomes possible? What can be made simpler? And, how can technology change the role and value of Mobility itself?
This is an interactive, hands-on session where attendees will challenge conventional thinking, explore new possibilities and work through what a future Mobility model could actually look like.
In Partnership with Sander van Rooij, Head of International Mobility Operations at ING alongside Charlie Dyer and Nike Mouyeke at TOPIA
