Families in Global Transition

Families in Global Transition (FIGT) continues to gain momentum as we move toward enhancing our mission of bringing together those involved with the unique world of global transition.

FIGT is the only US-based conference where representatives of the corporate, diplomatic, academic, military and mission sectors come to share cross-cultural coping strategies. This unique forum allows everyone to recognize the universal challenges of relocation and strategize on new methods and research.

FIGT has been referred to as the grassroots "think tank" for families transitioning globally. Today's major relocation challenges include: career employee retention, personal and corporate/organizational financial losses, third culture kids adjustment challenges, educational balance, working spouses and elder care responsibilities.

The conference has set a standard in the relocation industry by addressing these and other significant transition issues. With an agenda that is continuously at the leading edge of new research and programs, our audiences included representatives from around the globe.

"We are the players on the field, not the spectators in the stand. We have much to give even as we continue to have much to learn. "- Ruth van Reken, Founder
