Live & Invest Overseas
Conferences & Workshops
Our in-person conferences and virtual workshops help you turn your overseas
lifestyle, retirement, and investment dreams into reality.
Figuring out how to create a new life overseas can feel like you’re navigating an unfamiliar city without a map.
Where should you go? How much will it cost? What paperwork do you need? Who can you trust? And what happens if you make a wrong move?
The truth is, starting a new chapter abroad—whether for retirement, investment, or lifestyle—comes with dozens of moving parts. A Live and Invest Overseas conference or workshop is where all those parts come together in one place, clearly explained, honestly presented, and ready for you to act on.
The Problem with Doing It Alone
Many people start their overseas journey the hard way—by trying to research everything themselves.
They spend months bouncing between online forums, outdated articles, and contradictory advice from strangers. They piece together tips from travel blogs and social media groups, only to discover later that the rules have changed, the source wasn’t accurate, or the “insider tip” was really a sales pitch.
That approach leads to frustration, wasted time, and in some cases, expensive mistakes.
Our live events are the shortcut. Instead of chasing answers from a dozen places, you get them all in one carefully planned program—directly from the people who know.
What Makes a Live and Invest Overseas Event Different?
At every Live and Invest Overseas conference or workshop, the focus is simple:
Provide clear, comprehensive, and trustworthy insights from professionals and expats with first-hand experience.
No Sales Pitches, No Hype
We don’t sugarcoat. Every destination, every strategy, every investment option comes with pros and cons—and we share both. Our role is to equip you to make informed decisions, not to sell you something.
Depth and Breadth
You’ll hear from a carefully chosen mix of experts:
Immigration attorneys explaining visa and residency processes
Financial advisors outlining tax and asset strategies
Real estate professionals discussing rental and purchase options
Healthcare specialists covering insurance and medical systems
Experienced expats sharing the unvarnished reality of daily life abroad
The Three Core Goals of Every Conference and Workshop
Whether you join us in person or online, every Live and Invest Overseas event is built around these objectives:
Help you decide if living, retiring, or investing overseas is right for you
We explore lifestyle, legal, and financial considerations so you can assess fit before making a commitment.
Show you exactly how to take your next steps
From legal requirements to housing choices, the path forward becomes clear.
Equip you with tools, contacts, and confidence
You’ll leave with a personal action plan and a network of connections to support you.
What You’ll Learn at a Live and Invest Overseas Event
A Live and Invest Overseas conference is not a travel expo. It’s an intensive, information-rich experience designed to answer every major question a potential expat or overseas investor could have.
Here’s a look at the core topics:
Why Live and Invest Overseas Events Deliver What Research Alone Can’t?
Online research has its place, but there’s no substitute for hearing directly from professionals and expats in real time, with the chance to ask questions.
At a Live and Invest Overseas event, you benefit from:
Firsthand experience – Learn from those already living and investing abroad.
Up-to-date information – Laws, taxes, and real estate markets change; we keep you current.
Personal relevance – Ask your specific questions and get tailored answers.
Network building – Meet contacts who can help you long after the event ends.
Real Stories, Real Lessons
One of the most impactful parts of our events is hearing from attendees and speakers who’ve already made the leap.
You’ll hear how they overcame challenges, what they wish they’d known earlier, and how they built fulfilling lives abroad. You’ll also hear the mistakes—because learning what not to do can save you more than money.
These stories are proof that the overseas dream is not just possible—it’s happening right now for people just like you.
Saving Time, Money, and Stress
A well-planned Live and Invest Overseas workshop or conference condenses months of research into a few focused days.
Instead of scheduling separate calls with an attorney, a realtor, a tax advisor, and an insurance broker—hoping they each understand the international angle—you’ll meet them all in one place, coordinated to cover the questions that matter most.
This approach:
Shortens your learning curve
Reduces the risk of costly mistakes
Helps you compare options side-by-side
Gives you a support network from day one
From Dream to Detailed Plan
It’s common to arrive at a Live and Invest Overseas event with a general dream—“I want to live overseas someday”—and leave with a concrete plan.
By the end of the program, you’ll know:
Where your best opportunities lie based on your needs and goals
The specific steps to get from where you are to where you want to be
The professionals who can help you implement each step
This clarity is what turns possibility into action.
Past & Upcoming Events
Your Next Step
If you’re ready to move beyond dreaming and into doing, attending a Live and Invest Overseas conference or workshop is the smartest step you can take.
You’ll gain the information, insight, and network to turn your overseas vision into reality—without the confusion, delays, and missteps that come from going it alone.

Here Is What Live And Invest Overseas Conference Attendees Say
There’s something special that happens at every Live and Invest Overseas event — a spark, a connection, a shift in perspective. Whether it’s hearing from an expat who’s already made the leap, discovering a property that checks every box, or finally understanding how to make your finances work abroad… attendees consistently tell us:

Will You Be Our Next Retire Overseas Conference Success?
No attendee shares the same story. They all come to the table with open minds… and, with the help of the experts and expats we’ve gathered for our events every year, they find their own way… and at their own pace.
As soon as we’re all together in the room, there’s a sense of excitement and positivity. Suddenly the barriers disappear. You realize, as Gary did, that you can make this move on your own… or, as Cheryl and Steve are finding in Panama, you can get by on limited Spanish… and fill the language gaps later.
So, no more excuses. This time next year, I’d love to be sharing your story with our readers.

By the end of the third day, returning to our hotel room, we were exhausted, and our brains were full of facts, opinions, photos, and stories to digest.
