Geopolitical instability, rapid policy shifts and mounting labor market pressure are fundamentally changing how organizations approach talent, supply chains and operational resilience. At the same time, AI is beginning to redefine jobs and skills at scale, while governments are accelerating the use of technology to strengthen immigration enforcement, security and system oversight.
In 2026, the pace and complexity of change are only set to increase. Please join us for an upcoming webinar bringing together perspectives on geopolitics, immigration policy and workforce strategy. The discussion will explore how AI, trade, tariffs and demographic change are colliding with immigration systems and reshaping workforce planning decisions across regions and will include:
- Geopolitics and Global Mobility: How geopolitical change is reshaping immigration policy and increasing risk across global talent models
- U.S. Immigration Outlook: Policy direction, compliance exposure and the implications of heightened enforcement for employers
- Europe at a Crossroads: Immigration reform, mobility constraints and trade pressures impacting workforce and supply chain decisions
- Workforce Strategy and Crisis Readiness: Building resilient workforce strategies and crisis response capabilities in a persistently volatile environment
Who should attend:
- Global mobility and immigration leaders
- HR and workforce strategy professionals
- Legal, compliance and risk teams
- Policy and government affairs professionals
- Business leaders responsible for talent, supply chain or operational resilience
This session is designed for professionals who need to anticipate risk, understand what is coming next and rethink how workforce strategies are built in a high-stakes global environment.
