The Most Productive, Memorable, and Fun Event You'll Attend

“Our industry is so fast paced and demanding that we race through the days, weeks, and years in a blur. IMI Connect miraculously slows time down. It creates an atmosphere to listen in a meaningful way, where all judgment is left at the door and the support for each other is magnified.”

“Any conference that forces me to make notes and study my industry before showing up could never be ordinary. This is the beauty of IMI Connect, particularly Trivia Night. It gives you a chance to deepen your craft, reignite dormant relationships, and create new, dynamic ones.”

“Over the years I have been to many, many industry events. IMI is unique in its aims and execution. And Athens was my favorite IMI Connect yet. I always come away feeling energized and enthusiastic.”

“Last week was my very first IMI event and it was absolutely stellar. After eight years in this world and countless conferences, this is the first time I've genuinely had a blast. Going through the stack of business cards now, I can't help but appreciate how much I learned.”

“Wrapped up an incredible IMI week in Barcelona, and the most valuable conversations happened off the stage. I reconnected with longtime colleagues, met brilliant new partners, and watched real partnerships form over laughter and a slightly too-competitive trivia night.”

“An absolutely amazing time. Thank you for organizing a well curated and timely industry focused event. Our team has never missed any of the IMI events.”

“We return from Rome with the certainty that the future of international mobility is built like this: networked, with criteria, and with a global vision. Beyond the content, what made this meeting special was the human quality of the IMI community.”

“Congratulations on the most inspirational IMI event ever in my opinion. The conversation was the perfect mix of solutions combined with up-and-coming alternatives, all topped off by lots of laughter.”

“I've been on enough panels to know that the ones people remember aren't the ones where everyone says the right thing. They're the ones where someone asks the question out loud that's been percolating in everyone's minds. Grateful to IMI for curating the space and the people that make that possible.”

“On behalf of all at Latitude, an absolute pleasure to be amongst so many awesome industry professionals, peers, and friends. This is a cool bunch to hang out with and the last few days have been truly memorable.”

“The trek from New Zealand was absolutely worth it. Thank you for fostering such an open, engaged global community. The quality of dialogue, discussion, and debate was excellent. I'm very grateful to be part of it.”

“The ROI for us is not just in the business aspect, but in the lasting bonds we form and the feeling of belonging to a supportive industry family where we can truly make a difference.”

“The event doesn't need to be the largest to make an impact. For me, it felt more intimate, allowing for strengthening of relationships and starting new ones in a more meaningful way. Conversations were informed and flowed with ease, with real exchange of ideas and perspectives.”

“An impeccably organised event yet with a genuinely relaxed atmosphere where I got to meet up with many familiar faces in our space and make plenty of new connections along the way. I'd recommend it to anyone in our industry looking to build real connections.”

“Athens was hard to beat, but apparently it was possible. A big thank you to Christian, Alexandra, James, Ahmad and the whole IMI team for organizing another outstanding event.”

“I believe the concept of IMI Connect is truly unique and much needed in our industry. Most of us operate in small offices, often working alone or with very limited teams. IMI Connect changes that. It's the one space where we can speak openly and honestly, with others who get it.”

“You have created a unique environment where industry experts, many of whom are competitors, can share openly in the best interests of the industry. Congratulations.”

“Always a pleasure to be at IMI Connect on behalf of Arton Capital, a long time partner of the industry. Established firms like us have a duty to pave the way, work together with new blood, and elevate each other.”

“Athens was probably my favourite IMI Connect. I had a great time, walked away with great memories, and even stronger bonds. This format is both unique and wonderful.”

“As first-time attendees, my partner and I were genuinely impressed by how open, welcoming, and close-knit the IMI community is. It's rare to find such a combination of professionalism and warmth in one place.”

“Being my first IMI event, I enjoyed jumping in at the deep end. It was a fantastic learning experience and a great opportunity to gain knowledge from investment migration experts with massive experience.”

“Thank you to the IMI team. Always great content and candid discussions, exactly what we need.”

“I experienced everything that was written on the box, except my experience started even before landing in Rome, at 35,000 feet standing at the bar having drinks and laughing with two guys I had never spoken to before.”

“I had a great time from beginning till the end, attending informative sessions and meeting very seasoned colleagues. Many lifelong memories were created this week.”

“It's amazing how much you can learn from others in such a relaxed environment, not only about new relocation options and investment opportunities for our clients, but also about different countries and ways of life.”

“Still smiling after a few radiant days in Rome surrounded by brilliant minds, inspiring conversations, and (let's be honest) dangerously good gelato. The combination of knowledge, networking, and atmosphere was truly bellissimo.”

“The true prize of Global Citizen Week was the priceless opportunity to create and deepen relationships with our industry peers, which we certainly did. Looking forward to the next one.”

“It was my first time attending and certainly not my last. The event brought together key industry players in a truly inspiring setting. The valuable discussions and partnerships forged here can only elevate our business and the industry as a whole.”

“This is a stressful industry. There is nothing more recommended than a few days of laughter and smiles and good conversations.”

“Thank you to everyone I had the pleasure meeting and speaking with. You all made me feel welcome and part of something amazing. In such a short time I feel I made connections that will last a long time.”

“Thank you, IMI, as always an incredibly productive and fun event. Thank you for the hard work on pulling off such an engaging and awesome industry gathering. To more epic gatherings and meaningful connections.”

“Another exquisite IMI event, great to reconnect with everybody and what a wave of positive industry news in just a few days. Lots to be excited about.”

“One of the things I enjoy most about this event is the opportunity to step outside the New Zealand bubble and hear what's happening across the wider investment migration market. There is always plenty of discussion, debate, and definitely no shortage of opinions.”

“Amazing to meet everyone at my first IMI event. Look forward to building relationships with you all and thank you for being so welcoming.”

“This marks our second participation with IMI. We feel very much at home within the IMI community and look forward to staying actively involved.”

“As a first-time attendee, I was struck by the extraordinary caliber and diversity of the people in the room. The conference seamlessly blended world-class expertise with a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, creating countless opportunities for meaningful conversations. IMI Connect Barcelona was my first IMI experience, and I'm sure it won't be my last.”

“Three events, three cities, one consistent lesson: physical presence still wins, strong partnerships amplify everything you do, and the relationships you invest in today determine the business you do tomorrow. Grateful for every handshake, every conversation, and every new connection made along the way.”

“This was my first IMI Connect event, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. One of the most valuable experiences was finally meeting face to face so many people I had only known through phone calls, emails, and LinkedIn. Putting a handshake behind the conversations makes all the difference.”

“These conversations are what truly give value to gatherings like this. IMI Daily continues to play an important role in strengthening the ecosystem and fostering partnerships that move our industry forward. Leaving Barcelona inspired and grateful for the connections and conversations shared.”

“What an incredible few days it has been. The level of the event has been exceptional, bringing together government representatives, industry leaders, developers, and international professionals from around the world. Moments like these remind me how important personal relationships and trust are in our industry.”

“Mercan Panama was proud to participate in IMI Connect Barcelona, one of the most important global gatherings for the investment migration industry. Events like IMI Connect provide a valuable platform to strengthen relationships, share ideas, and showcase Panama's growing potential.”
