As Mobility continues to evolve into a more strategic partner to the business, relationships with senior stakeholders has never been more important. This interactive breakout session will explore how Mobility teams can build, strengthen and sustain these relationships, while examining the role technology can play in enhancing both business engagement and employee experience.
• What it takes for Mobility to be recognised as a credible strategic adviser.
• How technology can support efficiency and more consultative business engagement.
• Who technology should serve: Mobility teams, business users and mobile employees.
• Which self-service tools, including chatbots, could deliver the greatest impact.

Technology and AI are now part of almost every global mobility conversation but are they truly transforming the function, or simply making familiar processes faster? This interactive session will cut through the hype and explore where technology is creating real value, where progress is still incremental, and what needs to happen next.
Delegates will share how their organisations are using technology and AI today, from practical wins to areas where expectations have yet to match reality. Together, the group will consider whether these tools are driving real change in mobility or just being added onto existing processes.
The session will close with an “art of the possible” discussion, drawing on examples from GEP and The Cozm to prompt fresh thinking about the next phase of technology-enabled mobility. Delegates will leave with a clearer view of how to distinguish hype from meaningful change and what they want to achieve for their mobility function within the next 18 months.

Social security is often still managed as an afterthought to tax, but it is increasingly becoming a strategic global mobility issue. Greater data visibility, changing EU rules, business travel, cross-border remote working and non-traditional mobility are reshaping compliance risks and employers need to ensure they are not caught out. Couple this with employee experience - the ability to obtain an immigration permission, access to healthcare and consideration of pension entitlements in the future, all mean that employers need to be on the front foot. Delegates will leave with a clear understanding of the latest international social security developments, including the new UK–India Social Security Agreement, evolving EU coordination rules, A1 certificate requirements and the practical implications of increasingly flexible cross-border working patterns. The session will translate the latest international social security developments into practical priorities for global mobility programmes, with a focus on compliance risk and the employee experience.

See what Mobility Intelligence 2.0 looks like in practice, embedded directly into the tools leaders already use — from Outlook and Microsoft Teams to Copilot and ServiceNow.

Explore how employees, HR and Mobility teams can get answers, track moves, estimate costs and take action in real time, while technology takes care of the admin behind the scenes.

We’ll also look at what this means for relocation delivery — freeing experienced consultants to focus on employee support, policy guidance and the complex cases where their expertise matters most.

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.

From juggling decisions around lump sums or managed moves to centralized governance and regional adaptability, how to determine the best approaches for your company.

The old mobility playbook, predictable visas, clean "local vs. global" lines, standard packages, no longer matches APAC's reality of fierce skills competition, regulatory complexity, and boards demanding cost discipline and speed at once. Forward-thinking organizations are responding by repositioning Global Mobility as a strategic talent flow engine, driving agile, intentional movement of people to wherever the business needs them most. This roundtable explores how leaders are making that shift: reframing Mobility as a intentional retention and agility lever, navigating the trends shaping 2026 and beyond, balancing employee experience with cost discipline, leveraging AI to move from transactional to strategic, and tracking ROI to earn Mobility a seat at the table.

As Global Mobility programs across APAC continue to evolve, data, technology and AI are becoming critical enablers of more strategic, scalable and proactive mobility functions. This roundtable will explore how organisations are leveraging workforce data, predictive analytics, automation and emerging AI capabilities to enhance decision-making, improve compliance oversight, streamline operations and deliver a better employee experience. Participants will also discuss how technology is supporting the management of increasingly diverse mobility types, enabling greater visibility of workforce movement, and helping Mobility teams transition from operational service providers to strategic workforce advisors in a rapidly changing business environment.

For decades, corporate functions have evolved their identity to better reflect their strategic value. Personnel became HR, HR became Human Capital, and today we talk about People & Culture. Each shift has reshaped not just the name, but how the function is perceived and the impact it delivers. So where does that leave Mobility & Immigration? In this session, we’ll explore whether our industry is still “speaking ancient” and what it would take to reframe mobility from a transactional, compliance-driven function into a critical enabler of talent, growth, and enterprise risk strategy. This would be a thought-provoking discussion on how language, positioning, and narrative can fundamentally transform the role of mobility within the business.

Challenges like geopolitical and economic uncertainty, growing skills shortages and evolving ESG commitments are prompting many employers to rethink their talent strategies. Hybrid, short-term and skills-based assignments may be good alternatives to more traditional approaches, but how can we be sure if evaluation methods are not changing, too?

With an ROI framework that considers the financial, strategic and talent impacts, we’ll explore how to effectively measure which assignment types are yielding the best, most cost-effective results for your business. We’ll review key touchpoints and metrics that can help mitigate your risks and provide holistic insights for better business decision making.

In today’s complex, globalized business world riven with geo-political challenges and uncertainties, the improved alignment between the corporate talent function and corporate mobility function remains a perennial topic for discussion. Most research points to the fact that organizations remain some way off being well aligned in this regard.

For discussion during this roundtable:

• What does ideal state look like, from an APAC perspective, for the alignment between corporate talent and mobility functions?
• What are the key challenges organizations have faced in aligning Talent and Mobility, and what success stories can they share?
• How are Talent and Mobility functions working together to support global workforce planning, attraction, and retention?
• To what extent does your tech stack support a connected view of Talent and Mobility decisions?
