SUMMARY:Survey Says: Your RFP Process Is Broken.
DESCRIPTION:William Taylor and Anindita Chowdhury (Vestara), Mark Bennett 
 (Weichert Workforce Mobility), and Sandy Beyer (Salesforce)\n\nWhat if we 
 told you that 72% of global mobility programs have never formally re-bid t
 heir primary vendor relationships? Or that the number one reason companies
  get less value from their immigration counsel has nothing to do with lega
 l expertise and everything to do with how they bought the relationship in 
 the first place? \n\nThis isn’t another RFP how-to session. This is a live
 -on-stage, Family Feud-style game show where real survey data from 100+ gl
 obal mobility professionals becomes the reveal mechanism for one of the fi
 eld’s most consequential, and most mismanaged disciplines: vendor selectio
 n and management across immigration, relocation, and global mobility tax. 
 Two audience teams compete to guess the top survey answers across 12 quest
 ions and three high stakes rounds. But the real payoff happens after every
  board flip: a rapid-fire expert debrief that turns each answer into an im
 mediately actionable insight. \n\nThe format is competitive, high-energy, 
 and deeply educational, the rare conference session where attendees are ge
 nuinely on the edge of their seats while also building frameworks they can
  use Monday morning. No product pitch. No slide deck. Just the signal extr
 acted from the noise. Attendees leave with five concrete deliverables: a 3
 0-point RFP readiness scorecard, a vendor SLA benchmark guide, a multi-ven
 dor evaluation rubric, the five questions to ask every mobility vendor, an
 d the full pre-conference survey results report, a first-of-its-kind bench
 marking data from their own peer community.\n\nTag: Mobility Programs and 
 Policies\n\n
