Expanding internationally shouldn't feel like stepping into a horror movie. Yet many organizations unknowingly wander into terrifying traps. Misclassified contractors and phantom employees to permanent establishment (PE) risks and tax liabilities can derail your growth. When you use your home country's playbook abroad, simple missteps can turn into costly legal penalties, reputational damage, and operational gridlock.

Moderated by Pete Tiliakos, Principal Analyst, Strategic Advisor, and Chief Payroll Champion, our panelists will guide you through the full international employment lifecycle. You'll hear firsthand case studies covering onboarding culture clashes, offboarding nightmares, intellectual property leaks, hidden tax obligations, and overseas funding strategies.
