driving growth and embracing the future together: highlights from our 2024 global network supplier conference

At Cartus, our global community is strengthened by our expansive Global Supplier Network, which features partners from 190 countries, all committed to supporting our clients and their relocating employees. Recently, we had the honor of celebrating their achievements at the annual Cartus Global Network Conference.

Taking place on October 2, 2024, this event is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the robustness of our supplier relationships and the exceptional dedication and service our partners provide. The Network’s worldwide presence allows us to offer hands-on support to families on the move, anytime and anywhere. Find out more.

Choosing a virtual format for the event significantly reduces CO2 emissions by cutting travel and venue energy use. For instance, if one person from each of the 42 countries flew to attend, it would produce around 88.1 metric tons of CO2—the same as driving a gasoline car for 220,000 miles or powering 10 homes for a year. This transition to a virtual format underscores our commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices.

Our 2024 event centered around the theme, “Driving Growth and Embracing the Future Together,” underscoring our network’s collective progress and innovation. Cartus’ mobility experts shared a number of key updates and trends with the nearly 500 attendees including:

  • The growing need for a more flexible approach when delivering relocation services.
  • Key mobility challenges and priorities for companies moving employees around the world.
  • The increased focus on sustainability and what that means for those in the mobility industry.
