Fragomen and Fragomen WorkRight are pleased to announce our participation in the 2026 FEM Americas Conference, where our leaders will be presenting on the following panels and sharing insights on navigating today’s complex global mobility landscape.
Fragomen Expert Insights Session
Title: Leading Through Disruption: Crisis Management in Global Mobility
Speakers: Ryan Freel, Partner, Fragomen and Paige Taylor, Partner, Fragomen
In today’s environment of policy volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, and heightened enforcement, disruption to global mobility programs can arise quickly and carry significant business impact. In this session, experienced practitioners will share perspectives on managing crises affecting cross-border talent—from sudden travel restrictions and visa challenges to compliance investigations and employee-related issues at the border.
Focusing on real-time operational challenges, the discussion will highlight practical approaches to rapid decision-making, cross-functional coordination, and effective communication in high-pressure situations. Attendees will gain insight into responding to disruptions as they occur, aligning stakeholders across HR, legal, and business teams, and strengthening overall program resilience.
Roundtable Session
Title: Beyond Ownership: Global Mobility’s Role in I-9 and Right to Work Compliance
Speakers: Chris Barnett, Client Success, Fragomen WorkRight; Paige Taylor, Partner, Fragomen
As domestic, global, and immigration functions continue to converge, this roundtable will explore how I-9 and Right to Work compliance fit into a more connected workforce model. The discussion will examine shared accountability across mobility, HR, legal, and compliance teams, and address the risks that arise from fragmented systems and inconsistent standards.
Participants will also consider how evolving expectations around identity verification, audit readiness, and documentation are shaping compliance strategies. The session will highlight the unique position of global mobility as a connector across functions and geographies, offering practical approaches to improving coordination, visibility, and consistency.
