Goodbye from the Outgoing President
Anita Meyer - The Map Group
When the EuRA board pointed at me a couple of years ago to follow in the footsteps of Patrick Oman – and many other fabulous relocation personalities before him - to take over the presidency of the European Relocation Association, I said thanks but no thanks. It seemed like the kind of responsibility I was not prepared for. I like playing the second violin, not the first.
At the end of the 2 year term, I agree with Winnie-the-Pooh: “Goodbye? Oh no, please, can’t we go back to page one and do it all over again?”
Welcome from the New President
Andrew Scott - Dwellworks
As we head towards the halfway year mark, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on EuRA’s recent International Relocation Congress, as well as have a look at what lies ahead for the remainder of 2017.
While in Warsaw, it was great to hear some of the exciting opportunities many of our members were focusing on and there was definitely a strong, positive vibe about the rest of the year to come, even with many of the uncertainties we face in our countries and regions.
EuRA Index & Global Index Analysis
“The purpose of the EuRA Index is to collate information on industry trends from those working in relocation on a monthly basis. We want to have results by country and for all participating countries and regions. This will not only allow us to develop individual country statistics but also to compare countries and regions. In addition it will give EuRA the opportunity to discuss why there are differences between countries and regions.”

2017 Penang Convention
EuRA was delighted to partner with IMC World at their sixth Asia convention. The IMC Conference has established itself as a landmark event in the mobility calendar and we were delighted to welcome over 100 people to EuRA’s first Asia Dinner.
The IMC World conference is an established landmark in the Asian mobility calendar attracting delegates from across the continent. The turnout this year was a record high with just under 200 delegates converging on the city of George Town Penang for four days of networking, learning and some serious fun.
