A first in the UK, Relocate Global's Festival of Global Mobility Thinking will help your company to navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving and increasingly globalised business landscape.
The theme for this event is how creativity and innovation can enable companies to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the future. We will address transformation and change in the workplace across industry sectors and regions.

Participants will come away with a bespoke action plan, a toolkit of resources, a network of new contacts, and access to a powerful community, so they can help move their organisations to the next level. See our top reasons to attend!

Keynote: Olivier Mythodrama
Transformational Leadership – Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Shakespeare's genius provides timeless insights into the human nature of transformational leadership, while the narrative drive of his great play The Tempest reveals the vital ingredients of a successful change initiative.
What kind of ‘storm’ do you need to create? How can you tell a compelling story to truly engage others? Can you manage different reactions and reframe the challenge accordingly? How might you need to change in order for the bigger change to be successful?
This memorable keynote session, with a lively mix of input, discussion and experiential exercises, will engage delegates and provide insights to build on for the rest of the conference, and to take back to your workplace.
Olivier Mythodrama’s clients are full of praise for its energy, passion and approach:
“The finest, and potentially highest-yielding, investment in our leadership development history to date.” CEO, Fujitsu
