At this Event, Our Experts Will Show You How to Live Richer, Travel Better, and Profit More Overseas

These are uncertain times. At home today we face some serious unknowns: economic, political, social.
Lots of people are feeling paralyzed these days... uncertain about what to do. It’s understandable: The markets are volatile, the policies out of Washington are unpredictable.
But this is NOT the time to sit and wait, hoping for the best. It’s the time to GET EDUCATED. You may never move overseas full-time. But you should know what your options are. Because you have some good ones. And this August in Portland, we’re gathering our experts to help you understand the lay of the land.
You can have a great deal more control over what your future looks like than you probably realize.
Together with our experts in Portland, we can help you build a bulwark against all the uncertainty—so you have a roadmap that can help you safeguard your retirement, position yourself for gains, and (if you feel like it—or you need to) escape to a place where your dollars go further and where luxury isn’t just for those with deep pockets.
It’s never been easier to go overseas. Whether you’re looking to shelter wealth, make money, save money, live better for less, retire more comfortably, or simply travel the world in style without spending a fortune… join us in Portland, and we’ll show you how.
An Event Inside and Event: Exploring Real Estate Abroad
Learn How (and Where) to Buy Smart, So You Can Both Enjoy—and Potentially Profit—from Your Property Overseas
To make sure you have ample time to soak in all the timely, on-the-ground intelligence, recommendations, and guidance our global real estate team has to share with you, we’ve created what is effectively a real estate focused event inside an event. And if you choose to, you can attend real estate sessions all the way through.
You’ll have an opportunity to meet with and hear from our real estate expert, Ronan McMahon, in person. Ronan is the founder of Real Estate Trend Alert. He’s bringing to Portland his hot-shot team of real estate scouts along with key contacts from opportunity-rich markets around the world. So you can hear directly from the people in-the-know without having to trek, yourself, all over the planet.
You’ll discover where you’ll find the best deals today, the smartest ways to buy, the trends to watch, pitfalls to avoid, and more... including the top three markets in the world for real estate deals right now and the most critical do’s and don’ts to keep in mind when you buy property abroad—so you can save time, money, and frustration and position yourself smartly for potential income and appreciation gains.
We’ll Help You Jump-Start Your Overseas Plan
Our IL’s Ultimate Go Overseas Bootcamp is our ONLY US-based event of 2025—and the easiest, most efficient, most effective way there is to jump-start your overseas plan.
This program is designed to set you up with a practical, personalized roadmap to take you from where you are now to the right place (or places) for you, whatever your priorities may be.
We’ll have on hand seasoned experts and expats to share their recommendations and insights about places as far flung as Portugal and Mexico... Thailand and Italy... Panama and Greece...
We’re inviting more exhibitors than ever before to introduce you to resources and solutions that can smooth your path overseas. You’ll meet our own country correspondents, lots of expats already “living the life,” plus experts in real estate, health insurance, retirement planning, investing outside the dollar, taxes, and more. We’ll have in-country attorneys, property experts...folks we trust, and resources you need.
Our experts will discuss the techniques and solutions you can use to help you—
diversify your portfolio,
save on your taxes,
better protect your privacy,
live better for less day-to-day,
and give you increased flexibility in the way you travel, invest, and retire.
We’ll talk about second passports, foreign residence, investment opportunities you can’t access from the States, how best to hold real estate, estate planning, funding your life overseas, and more.
We’ll have our team of country experts in the house to share their insights about the countries they now call home—Portugal, Costa Rica, Belize, Malta, Panama, Italy, Spain, France, Ecuador, Greece, Uruguay, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond...
Where We’re Hosting This Event
We’ll be based at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront Aug. 30 – Sept. 1, 2025—over Labor Day Weekend. It’s a beautiful time of the year to be in this part of the country, and the hotel will not disappoint.
Located right on the waterfront, an easy 10-minute walk from the airport tram stop and close to the University of Portland campus, it’s away from the fray, but within easy access of Portland’s popular offerings.
We’ve arranged for deeply discounted rooms during your stay—$159 a night for a single or double, which includes your wifi (and the hotel is waiving the destination fee for us).
(Please be aware, however, that rooms are limited in that room block—we won’t have rooms for all our attendees at that price. It’s strictly first-come, first-served. As soon as you register for the event on this page, we’ll send you the details you need to book your discounted room.
Our Promise to You
Over three full days of programming, we’ll give you every tool you need to find the place in the world that makes good sense for you. And by the time this three-day weekend is over, you’ll know exactly what to do to get there.
If you’re ready for answers... ready to pinpoint the spot that’s right for you... ready to get an actionable blueprint so you have a path to follow from where you are now... to your ideal spot overseas...
Then register below today.

A guaranteed seat at International Living’s Ultimate Go Overseas Bootcamp being held at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront from Aug. 30 – Sep. 1, 2025 – and attendance at all sessions.
A Networking & Exhibit Hall entry pass, which gives you attendee-only access to the hall throughout the conference, a place where you’ll chat with fellow attendees and get one-on-one time with our experts.
Access to “Fireside Chats” we’ll be hosting with a selection of experts—short, special-focus sessions designed to home in on a specific topic of interest—like moving with pets or renting long-term.
Access to a robust real estate “track” throughout the event so that if your top priority is understanding how and where today you can best invest for potential income and appreciation overseas, you can spend every day getting guidance from international real estate experts like Ronan McMahon of Real Estate Trend Alert, developers, agents, and more—all geared to help you position yourself well for shelter and gains, no matter what may happen at home.
A Complimentary Welcome Cocktail Reception: After our opening sessions, we’ll “officially” kick off the event with a cocktail party and an opportunity for you to rub elbows with the speakers and meet your fellow attendees, too.
Coffee & Networking Breaks so you can stretch your legs...grab some complimentary refreshments...network and check out the various exhibits that may interest you.
A Complimentary Farewell Reception, which is a great forum for chatting with new connections you’ve made and a way to wrap up an event that may well be the turning point of your life.
Your own Go Overseas Roadmap, a companion resource for this conference that includes country-specific information, details, recommendations, and contacts...plus worksheets and questions for you to consider. As you work through it with our experts’ guidance, it will begin to point you down a specific path.
And more...
As it’s the ONLY US-based event we’ll hold in 2025—sell-out risk is VERY HIGH. (Given the volatility of the current political, social, and economic climates, I predict people will be feeling a greater degree of urgency to put their overseas plans in place—and we’ll sell out faster than ever. So I strongly encourage you to register today.)
I look forward to seeing you there!
Warmly,
Jennifer Stevens
