IMI Connect Debates Discussions

Day 2 • Oct 8

Discussions

Day 2 at the historic and ornate Palazzo Colonna will be the heart of IMI Connect. Expect 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. Thanks to Venue Partner Ariete Capital, there are zero pay-to-speak slots or sales pitches – just open dialogue with the field’s top minds. Enjoy your lunch on PASS for Wealth Management as well.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a rising star, you’ll leave with actionable strategies, fresh perspectives, 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

IMI Connect Trivia

Dinner and Trivia

As evening falls, the day’s conversations give way to culinary delights and friendly competition. Enjoy panoramic vistas of ancient Rome and an exceptional dinner at 15th-century Terrazza Caffarelli, brought to you by Mercan Group, in a stunning yet more relaxed Roman setting.

But save your sharpest wits for our legendary IMI Connect Trivia, 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 at IMI Connect, business and pleasure go hand in hand.

Day 3 • Oct 9

Brunch and Guest Speaker

On our final morning, we gather again for a leisurely brunch at the Cielo Rooftop featuring a guest speaker who will both challenge and inspire you. This is the perfect moment to cement new business relationships and reflect on the ideas from the days prior – perhaps over a cigar from Startup Visa Services.
