The world of relocation changes rapidly and mobility professionals are challenged to both understand and stay ahead of those changes, while identifying opportunities for growth in the industry. With this in mind, SIRVA established SIRVA University. Now in its 15th year, SIRVA University is attended annually by more than 250 attendees who benefit from the interactive exchange of global mobility knowledge and solutions provided by the event. Participants also attend for the educational opportunities gained during the breakout and panel sessions facilitated by industry experts.  Recertification hours toward Certified Relocation Professional (CRP®) and Global Mobility Specialist (GMS®) designations are available and both existing and prospective SIRVA clients are welcome to join us for this year’s event.   

SIRVA University serves as a forum where companies collaborate on program and policy challenges and discuss opportunities that exist in the market and individual programs. It’s a chance to develop peer relationships or to simply share ideas and experiences. Held at the Meritage and Vista Collina, this year’s event will take place on April 16 and 17, amid premier vineyards in California’s beautiful Napa region.  

As in prior years, SIRVA has scheduled a variety of experienced and passionate speakers to share their expertise and thought leadership. Topics will include:

  • Changing Regulations/Macroeconomics: How It’s Impacting Policy and New Risks to Be Aware Of
  • Building a Business Case for Investing Further in Mobility
  • Policy Flexibility through Policy Options

Speakers will include SIRVA subject matter experts, including: John O’Connell (SVP, Global Supply Chain), Elaine Baker (SVP, Strategic Account Program) and Taryn Kramer (VP, Global Consulting). They will be joined by President and Chief Executive Officer of Worldwide ERC® Peggy Smith, SCRP, SGMS-T.

We hope you’ll take the opportunity to join us this year at SIRVA University. Packed with information and opportunities to expand your knowledge and peer network base, it truly is “the” mobility event of the year for mobility professionals in every industry.
