It is less than a month until our next virtual conference: Building Strategic Alliances.
Our complimentary virtual events continue to play a vital role in your membership, giving you a platform to connect and engage with fellow members worldwide from the comfort of your own office.
From the 10th – 14th February 2025, we will virtually pave the way for our members to network, share insights, and discuss the importance of providing global support to each other’s client bases. Alongside insightful sessions on subjects such as global mobility and AI, the conference will also give you the chance to speed network to generate new connections, encourage referrals, and increase your own activity and presence throughout IR Global.
