Dear International Living Reader,

What’s the point of telling you about the best places in the world to live and invest if we don’t help you to get out there and start seeing the benefits first hand? This year, we’d like to help you take your first big steps towards a new life of profit and enjoyment overseas…and we’re going to make it easy for you.

That’s why we regularly gather our international experts and expats for conferences, seminars, and events around the world. No subject goes uncovered at these gatherings: Safe and private banking…getting a visa…buying your new home…the laws and taxes that go with it…the best insurance…setting up your business…and even affordable healthcare.

We show you firsthand how to take advantage of the best opportunities we uncover each day. To put you on the ground…armed with all the insider know-how of those that went before you.

Our 2012 calendar includes five Conferences (and some new surprises). This high-quality list of programs in the world’s top retirement, investment, expat, and offshore havens includes:

Live & Invest Overseas Conference—Exploring Your Global Options—If you’re just beginning to explore your dreams of living or investing in Paradise…but still have a few questions on your mind: Is life abroad right for me? Which locale best suits my needs? Or, how can I afford it? Then this event is essential to help you make your first steps to your new life overseas. In two and half days we’ll answer all your questions, leaving you confident and ready to move forward with your plans. This conference is your gateway to global living and investing…and it takes place only once a year. Miss it and you’ve missed out.

Fast-Track: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference —When you narrow your focus to particular destinations, there’s no better way to discover firsthand what opportunities each offers than by attending a Fast-Track: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference on the ground. At each Fast-Track: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference , you’ll get a taste for local life while enjoying personal introductions to everyone you could ever need to make it easy to realize your dreams. Dozens of top in-country experts and expats meet in one place for three days to answer your every question on banking, immigration, buying real estate, taxes and legal issues, what expat life is really like, insurance, healthcare, and much more. In 2012, we’ll be holding Fast-Track: Lifestyle and Opportunity Conference in Panama, Ecuador and Costa Rica.

International Living’s Ultimate Event—Our answer to the U.S. economic crisis is here! We’ll reveal the best way to protect yourself from the falling dollar. While the old American way of life struggles to survive, new lands of fortune are opening their doors abroad. At our seventh annual Ultimate Event you’ll get it all. We’ll cover every topic on International Real Estate and Investing, Retirement, Offshore Banking and Tax Havens, and much more. Looking to retire overseas? Interested in owning your own second home in the sun? Perhaps you’re keen to make some money? Or maybe you want advice on how to protect and preserve the money you’ve already got. As usual, at the Ultimate Event, it’s all hands on deck. Every IL expert on every topic will gather for four head-spinning days of specialist seminars and group workshops.

International Real Estate Investment Forum—Ronan McMahon will gather a select group of international real estate investment experts who will reveal the very best opportunities available right now. They’ll share with you their secrets, tips and techniques for profit plays overseas… brief you on their respective markets… and present you with specific opportunities.

Pathfinder Real Estate Tours and Chill Weekends—Pathfinder is our preferred real estate contact. After most of our in-county events, they organize optional real estate tours to show you opportunities you can immediately take advantage of. You’ll see the unique and value-oriented real estate projects the world has to offer. And you’ll get in early for the best possible deal… before most people even hear about it. So you don’t miss out.

Here’s to your next life-changing adventure.

Sincerely,

Niamh Daly
International Living Event Manager
