Why the USA?

Countless American families, entrepreneurs and investors have become disillusioned with the American Dream. Political polarization, high taxation, gun violence, and numerous human rights issues have pushed droves of Americans to the brink. With their livelihoods, safety, and rights at stake, staggering numbers of Americans are looking overseas for the freedoms in life and in business that they require.

Who will you meet?

The America Outbound Summit has been designed exclusively to connect individuals and advisors of American families with overseas providers of investment migration, real estate, tax planning, and wealth planning services.
