The firm will host the Global China Immigration Conference on Tuesday, 10 September at The Ritz Carlton Shanghai, Pudong.
As many countries around the world, including China, have shifted their immigration policies to attract skilled workers—essential assets to strengthening national competitiveness—it has never been more important for immigration and mobility practitioners to stay ahead of the curve and support compliant international growth.
China Managing Partner Becky Xia, APAC Regional Partner Mark Buchanan, Europe Managing Partner George Koureas and Brussels Managing Partner Jo Antoons will be joined by various Shanghai government officials to discuss the latest developments, challenges, trends and opportunities surrounding China’s immigration landscape. Interactive sessions will cover topics such as:
- China’s immigration landscape: The latest developments in China’s immigration policies and trends regarding relocating talent to and from China
- Global competition for talent: Regional immigration trends and updates from Fragomen Partners across the globe
- Strategic immigration planning: Guidance on strategic corporate growth and expansion and ways to mitigate risks considering restrictive immigration policies
- Redefining workforce as talent attraction strategy: A rise in digital nomad visas for worker flexibility
- State of digital transformation: Opportunities and challenges, creation and improvement of online systems to streamline immigration applications
- Be audit ready: Strategy for success and risk management
The exclusive event will bring together some of the top minds in business immigration to explore the complex regulatory challenges, the use of technology and strategies around the movement of talents into China as well as key destinations across the globe.
