Description
The Covid-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, global economic downturn and shift in geopolitics have created an immigration landscape which is unrecognisable compared to that of the last in-person IBA Global Immigration Conference in 2019. Against the events of the last three years, our esteemed panel will discuss current and future global mobility trends, the race for talent (including the creation of immigration policies which support growth), humanitarian immigration issues and the global refugee crisis. The panel features policymakers, global mobility leaders, international humanitarian organisations, economists and political commentators.
