Join MERC for these informative education sessions
With the NAR Settlement taking effect on August 17th, 2024, we are all facing a significant change in the global mobility industry. Join industry leaders as they discuss the impact this settlement is having on U.S. domestic home sale programs, provide updates on ‘where we are now’, and look ahead at the future state of the industry. This session will provide attendees with a better understanding of how we will need to adjust as program managers, real estate brokerages and RMCs in the wake of the NAR settlement.
Have you ever struggled to verbalize the value of global mobility? Are you curious how others have successfully achieved corporate buy-in with mobility-related projects? Join us for an interactive Value Proposition of Global Mobility workshop where we will tackle the challenges and objections to global mobility support, from both an internal organization and supplier perspective. In small groups representing various industry sectors, we will learn from each other and workshop real-life scenarios on how to achieve buy-in for your most pressing mobility tasks. Attendees will walk away with tangible examples of how to successfully communicate the value proposition of global mobility within their own organizations, for their clients, and their partners.
