IMI Connect Barcelona • June 2-4, 2026

Investment Migration's Best and Brightest Leaders Gathered in Barcelona

The 9th edition of IMI Connect was another intimate, productive, fun gathering of the world’s top investment migration professionals in a convenient, cosmopolitan, world-class city.

Over three unforgettable days on the Mediterranean, 120 industry leaders reconnected over cocktails and open, honest debate. Still no booths, pitches, or paid speakers.

What sets IMI Connect apart from other industry events is the closed-door insights and enduring relationships and memories our guests build.

Featuring investment migration professionals from the following firms:

The 3-Day Agenda

Day 1 • Volta

Welcome Cocktail

We kicked off IMI Connect in true style with our signature Welcome Cocktail, an evening designed to set the tone for three unforgettable days of connection, insight, and opportunity. On a stunning rooftop terrace, with an atmosphere buzzing with innovation and anticipation as you mingled with industry leaders and reconnected with fresh faces.

Thanks to Grupo Los Pueblos, the Welcome Cocktail is where candid conversations began, new alliances were formed, and the global investment migration community came alive in one of the world’s most dynamic business capitals.

Come as colleagues, leave as friends.

Day 2 • Hotel Miramar

Discussions and Lunch

Day 2 is the heart of IMI Connect. We hosted a dynamic agenda of private, honest, off-the-record discussions and debates focused on the trends, headwinds, and opportunities shaping your work in investment migration. Per usual, there were zero pay-to-speak slots or sales pitches – just open discussion with the field’s top minds.

Plus, guests enjoyed more dialogue with their peers overlooking the Mediterranean and enjoying lunch at Terrazza Martinez, provided by Benrock Capital.

Whether you’re a veteran or a rising star, you left the gorgeous Hotel Miramar with actionable business strategies and answers to the questions that keep you up at night.

“IMI Connect is a rare forum for open discussion and true collaboration, where every voice matters.” — IMI Connect Athens 2025 attendee

Day 2 • Merendero de la Mari

Dinner and Trivia

As evening fell, the day’s conversations gave way to culinary delights and friendly competition. Guests enjoyed panoramic vistas of Barcelona’s iconic skyline and an exceptional dinner in a stunning yet more relaxed setting, courtesy of Mercan Group.

But guests saved their wits for our legendary IMI Connect Trivia contest, a tradition where reputations are made and rivalries renewed. The only thing fiercer than the competition is the camaraderie.

Many guests say it’s the highlight of their year, proof that business and pleasure go hand in hand at IMI Connect.

Day 3 • Hotel El Palace

Brunch

On our final morning, we gathered at the historic Rooftop Garden of the Hotel El Palace for a leisurely brunch, thanks to STP Service Advisory, featuring one final panel to challenge and inspire you. This was the perfect moment to cement new business relationships and reflect on the ideas from the days prior.

“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 have been a member of other networks, including a global accountancy network. IMI is vastly superior. It’s more vibrant, friendly, and entrepreneurial. The vibes are more positive."

“IMI Connect isn’t just an event; it’s a blooming garden where trust and camaraderie grow wild. This gathering feels like coming home.”

What an incredible experience at IMI Connect! Three inspiring days of honest dialogue, expert insights, and real connection – no sales pitches, no pay-to-speak talks.

Among the many events I’ve attended across different industries, IMI Connect was by far the most well-organized – with a remarkably well-curated group of participants.

“This marks our second participation in IMI Connect. The discussions were insightful, the networking opportunities were great, and the attendee database remains a highly valuable resource.”

IMI Connect was undoubtedly the best event of the last few years! Very particular, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, which makes the whole process even more productive. Important topics, exchange of opinions, new milestones.

“IMI Connect slows time down. It creates an atmosphere to listen in a meaningful way. All judgment is left at the door and the support for each other is magnified. Was it the agenda or just the most beautiful, intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting?”

"IMI Connect Athens was my first time attending and certainly not my last. The high-caliber discussions and strong partnerships formed here can only elevate our business and the industry as a whole.”

“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.”

Be the First to Hear About Future Events

IMI Connect has sold out 100% of its events. So if you missed the boat in Barcelona, don’t worry – We’re headed to Buenos Aires for IMI Connect in November 2026.

Previous Events and Highlights

From our humble beginnings in Lisbon in 2022 to “undoubtedly the best event of the last few years” in Athens in 2025, IMI Connect has cultivated thousands of profitable business relationships, unforgettable memories, and a stronger investment migration industry as a result.
