The three‑day gathering is aimed at senior investment‑migration professionals and focuses on networking, market insight, and preparation for Argentina’s forthcoming citizenship‑by‑investment (CBI) program.

Networking impact

- The format encourages referral relationships that can offset the cost of attendance.
Access to senior decision‑makers
- The event primarily attracts founders and top executives from leading investment‑migration firms rather than junior staff.
- Participants engage directly with the individuals who shape market strategy and product development.
Early positioning on Argentina’s CBI program
- Argentina is preparing to launch its citizenship‑by‑investment program in November 2026.
- Professionals attending the Buenos Aires edition will be among the first to discuss the program’s design and implementation, giving them a first‑mover advantage over competitors who arrive later.
Regional investment perspective
- Survey data cited by the organizers indicated that 71 % of investors would choose the Southern Cone (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay) as a safe location in the event of a major geopolitical conflict.
- The three‑day program includes site visits and discussions that highlight the region’s stability and investment potential.
Local professional contacts
- Argentine lawyers, accountants, and program administrators will be present for networking dinners and a trivia event on Day 2.
- These face‑to‑face introductions are intended to create a rapid support network for practitioners handling client issues in cities such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, and Mendoza.
Content schedule (three days)

Event format and restrictions
- No exhibition booths, paid speaking slots, or sales pitches are allowed.
- Media and government officials are excluded from discussion sessions to maintain an open, peer‑to‑peer environment.
- The restrictions are designed to enable 125 leading professionals to share candid views without commercial pressure.
Who should attend
- Suitable: Senior investment‑migration professionals seeking high‑level networking, insight into Argentina’s upcoming CBI program, and regional market intelligence.
- Not suitable: Individuals whose primary goal is to pitch products, junior staff with only promotional materials, or firms looking for a sales‑oriented exhibition space.
Practical considerations
- Seats are limited and have been filling quickly; early registration is advised to secure the lower price tier.
- Attendees should be prepared for intensive, off‑record discussions and networking events rather than formal presentations.
By attending IMI Connect Buenos Aires, participants can establish referral networks, gain early access to Argentina’s CBI framework, and deepen their understanding of the Southern Cone as a strategic investment region.
