Houston is one of the largest international HR markets in the world.  As the energy capitol, expatriate management and related services are Texas-sized businesses judging by the number (and quality) of our immigration lawyers, expatriate tax providers, and relocations companies.  We have a world-class infrastructure that connects us to the global community.  Houston is also incredibly diverse and we are home to 90 foreign consulate offices.

Reflecting Houston’s standing in the international HR community, we host a constant stream of international HR conferences.  In addition to our monthly events, Houston regularly hosts conferences by Families in Global Transition (FIGT), National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC), Texas State Council of SHRM, and Global HR News.

Please send us a tweet or say hello in person when you are in Houston.  For further information on Houston as the Global Leader in international business, please visit the Greater Houston Partnership.
