My team and I have finalized our conference schedule for the new year.

Here’s a first look at where and when to connect with us in person in 2024…

Live And Invest In Panama Conference

Panama City, Panama * Jan. 17–19, 2024

We’ll open the year in our adopted home country Panama with our Live And Invest In Panama Conference taking place in Panama City Jan. 17–19.

We call Panama the world’s “Do Anything Haven.”

Whether you’re looking for a warm tropical retirement escape, investment opportunities, a backup residency, to diversify your foreign real estate portfolio, or to start a business, Panama should be at the top of your list. It’s a one-stop shop for all things overseas.

A banking hub that uses the U.S. dollar, this little country is pro-business and pro-foreign investment. It’s also one of the few remaining true tax havens in the world.

In addition to investment and property market insights and specific current recommendations, at our event in January (our 15th!) we’ll show you the best places to call home in this beautiful and diverse country where you can embrace a new life on a glorious Pacific or Caribbean beach even on a very modest budget.

Live And Invest In Belize Conference

Belize City * Feb. 21–23, 2024

By far our most popular country-focused event, our Live And Invest In Belize Conference sells out every year without fail.

Belize is the world’s best place to escape the world.

A sunny land of opportunity, this tiny country is a tropical wonderland where you could reinvent your life, chase adventure, and retire well at a dramatically reduced cost.

Belize is an adventurer’s playground where you can walk among ancient Mayan ruins, swim beneath rain forest waterfalls, and explore hidden caves…

With 250 miles of white-sand Caribbean beaches and more than 400 islands, Belize is also classic Caribbean.

The only English-speaking country in Latin America, Belize is also safe, welcoming, and accessible.

I have helped thousands of people reinvent their lives in Belize over the last three-and-a-half decades. Come, let me and my team show you why Belize is so hard to resist.

Live And Invest In Portugal Conference

Sunny days, stunning sea views, happy people…

A low cost of living, affordable property, and tasty food…

Plus, arguably the best beaches, the best golf, and the best weather in Europe…

And, to top it all off, the classic Mediterranean diet here counts as one of the healthiest in the world, helping prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and more.

For these reasons and many others, Portugal is Europe’s #1 Place To Live Overseas.

If you’ve been a Live And Invest Overseas reader for some time, none of this comes as news. We’ve been beating the drum for Portugal for years.

Indeed, this sun-drenched and welcoming country is your very best choice for living well in Europe.

Where specifically should you consider?

Portugal offers dozens of tempting options along its long coast, plus unsung jewels like Lisbon and Porto. Inland are rivers and vineyards…

If you dream of retirement in the Old World, you owe it to yourself to take a firsthand look at what Portugal has to offer.

Registration for our 2024 Live And Invest In Portugal Conference, which will take place in the seaside town of Carvoeiro April 10-12, opens soon.

Live And Invest In Montenegro Workshop

Virtual * May 16, 2024

This tiny Adriatic nation offers all the delights of Europe at a fraction the cost.

Europe’s “Secret Riviera” remains off the radar, but I promise you it’s worth your attention.

Jacques Cousteau called it “the purest part of the Mediterranean”…

Sophia Loren said it’s like “the most beautiful fairytale of my childhood”…

And George Bernard Shaw wondered whether he was “on paradise or on the moon”…

From the foothills of its dramatic mountains, the views over the crystal-clear Bay of Kotor are otherworldly.

Montenegro boasts warm weather most of the year, its cobblestone streets are some of the safest you can wander anywhere in the world, and it’s very welcoming of foreigners.

Best of all, a couple could live the good life here on a budget of as little as $1,700 a month… making Montenegro one of the most affordable places to spend time on the Continent.

You could rent a one- or two-bedroom apartment just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town for as little as $600 per month… or buy your own place from as little as $60,000…

Enjoy a three-course meal for two at a local spot for around $40 (including wine)… grab a hearty breakfast for under $10… a cappuccino for less than $2… and enjoy a pizza slice for $3…

If you’re attracted by the Old World and the chance to live a sophisticated lifestyle at a low cost, please take a look at this emerging haven—while it’s still affordable and its doors are wide open.

Global Property Summit

Panama City, Panama * June 12–14, 2024

I’ve been encouraging readers to diversify their investment portfolios to include real estate overseas for nearly 40 years.

That recommendation has never been more relevant or more urgent than it is as we move into 2024.

A perfect storm of political, social, and financial conditions worldwide makes an investment in property beyond your home country’s borders imperative.

At our 10th Annual Global Property Summit, my team of global property pros will show you where specifically you should be shopping right now to position yourself for serious capital appreciation and cash flow.

You also want to be in the room with us for what will be the most important global property event of the year if you’re shopping global property markets not as an investor but for personal use.

The experts and expats on stage with me over the three days of this event will arm you with everything you need to know to buy safely and efficiently… even how to have your purchase pay its own way.

This one-of-a-kind program spotlighting dozens of markets will provide you with more knowledge about how to buy real estate overseas than you could acquire on your own in years of research and months of international travel.

Learn more about this event.

Live And Invest In Latin America Conference

Virtual * July 17–19, 2024

We give a lot of virtual ink in these dispatches to your best options for living, retiring, and investing south of the border.

That’s because Latin America checks a lot of boxes for both would-be expats and global investors.

This part of the world is accessible, sun-drenched, and affordable.

Plus it boasts both Pacific and Caribbean beaches… mountain retreats… rain forest escapes… vineyard idylls… and Spanish-colonial cities oozing history and charm.

Indeed, Latin America is North America’s #1 retirement destination abroad.

During our 2024 Live And Invest In Latin America Virtual Conference, my team and I will help you compare and contrast all your top live-and-invest options in this part of the world at the same time.

This will be the only time we’ll have all our top contacts and experts in Latin America gathered together at the same time.

If you’re looking to super-charge your quality of life without burning through your nest egg, your search must include Latin America.

No matter what kind of lifestyle you’re after, and no matter what size budget you have to play with, there’s a place with your name on it in this part of the world.

There are reasons more Americans have retired to Latin America than anywhere else in the world. Perhaps this region hides your paradise, too.

Live And Invest In Spain Conference

Valencia, Spain * Sept. 18–20, 2024

Last month’s first-ever Live And Invest In Spain Conference was such a success we’ve planned an encore for 2024.

Spain is a place where stunning beaches, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage blend seamlessly to create the perfect setting for adventure.

The challenge is that Spain is one unbelievably diverse country.

Join us for our Live And Invest In Spain Conference when our experts and expats will help you thin-slice your options coast to coast based on their firsthand experience.

Learn more about this event here.

Live And Invest In Europe Conference

Virtual * Nov. 20–22, 2024

Not sure yet where you might like to reinvent your life but certain that it’ll be somewhere in the Old World?

No problem.

Our Live And Invest In Europe Virtual Conference is tailor-made for you.

Covering all our favorite destinations on the Continent, this three-day event is a whirlwind trip around Europe, highlighting the pros and cons of living and investing in each of your top options on this side of the Atlantic.

Don’t dismiss Europe because you’re afraid you couldn’t possibly afford it. I write from Paris… which I’ve called my part-time home for 20 years.

I’ve raised a family here… started businesses… and made a series of property investments.

Based on my long experience, I can tell you that Paris can be far more affordable than you might ever imagine…

And everywhere beyond Paris can be cheaper still.

In addition, Europe offers the world’s best health care and, for many, the best quality of life to be found anywhere on earth.

It can also be easier to launch a new life in the Old World than you might fear.

Establishing residency is easier than ever… as is managing your tax burden.

During this one-of-a-kind event, our experts will arm you with everything you need to know to realize the life of your dreams on the Continent.

Lief Simon’s Offshore Wealth Summit

Panama City, Panama * Oct. 23–25, 2024

As we move into election year 2024, the recommendations and strategies Lief Simon and his team will be discussing during next year’s Offshore Wealth Summit couldn’t be more timely.

This event is the simple answer to jumpstarting and supercharging your financial safety and prosperity—carefully and 100% legally—with the help of fully vetted and trusted experts.

The focus is on putting you in control of your future… no matter who wins next year’s U.S. presidential race.
