2026 International Symposium Series | May-November, 2026
CLEAR’s International Symposium returns in a new format as a year-round Symposium Series, creating expanded opportunities for global dialogue, shared learning, and engagement.
Unlike traditional webinars, this series is designed as a discussion-driven forum, bringing together regulators and system leaders from across jurisdictions and professions to explore complex, real-world challenges. Each session emphasizes comparative perspectives, practical insight, and meaningful exchange.
2026 Theme: Regulation Without Borders:
Navigating Risk, Mobility, and Trust in a Global System
Regulation is no longer confined by geography, yet accountability, public protection, and decision-making remain deeply local. As professionals and services move more freely across borders, regulators are increasingly navigating challenges that do not have simple or uniform answers.
This series will explore how regulatory systems are responding to these pressures, with a focus on the tensions, trade-offs, and emerging practices shaping global regulation today.
The symposium will feature expert panels and facilitated discussions along 3 topics:
Cross-Border Regulation, Discipline & Information Sharing
How jurisdictions collaborate, share information, and oversee professionals operating across multiple regulatory systems.
International Mobility & Credential Equivalency
How regulators assess qualifications and competence across borders, manage risk, and address challenges when credentials cannot be easily verified.
Workforce Globalization vs National Priorities
How regulators balance workforce shortages, political pressures, and ethical considerations, including the impact on source countries and domestic systems.
Attendees will have opportunities to share initiatives from their jurisdictions and engage in substantive dialogue on addressing mobility challenges. An overarching goal is to identify concrete steps regulators can take to improve international workforce integration while fulfilling their public protection mandate. Join us for this comprehensive symposium to gain valuable knowledge, share best practices, and collaborate with regulatory professionals from around the world. Together, we can enhance the mobility of the international workforce and strengthen the role of the regulator in fostering a diverse, inclusive, and competent global professional community.
