International Living’s Retire Better Overseas Master Plan Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, Florida April 12-14, 2019 Fast Track Your Retirement Overseas: Lifestyle & Opportunity Conference 2019 Quick Tips Don’t leave anything of value in the meeting rooms in the evenings. At the IL table in the exhibit hall, we have some luggage tags. Please pick one up, fill it out, and attach it to your tote bag now so we can reunite you and your materials if lost. The jingle at a coffee break tells you we’re about to start presentations again. Wireless internet access: Wireless internet access is included in the room rate for hotel guests but it cannot be accessed in the general session room and exhibit area. Workshops You will see from your schedule that we have workshops in the afternoons. This means that this room you are in, Oceans Ballroom 2 & 3, will be the middle room for the workshop on your schedule. The other two rooms are the Oceans Ballroom 1 and the Oceans Ballroom 4. You will need to choose which workshop you would like to attend. But don’t worry about missing anything: the workshop in Oceans Ballroom 2 & 3 is being videotaped (the one where you see the camera). The other two workshops are being audiotaped. All you need to do is decide which one you would like to sit in on and you can catch the rest when you receive your recordings in about four weeks’ time. Important Note on Q&A Please wait until the speaker has finished before asking questions and raise your hand so we can bring a microphone to you. We are recording the conference for you and want to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

See Ann Kuffner at the IL VIP table for details Fast Track Your Retirement Overseas: Lifestyle & Opportunity Conference 2019 Dear International Living Conference Attendee, Welcome to International Living’s Fast Track Your Retirement Overseas Conference! And congratulations on taking such a positive step in the direction of your future. The next two-and-a-half days will be full of discoveries, wonder, information, and perhaps even confirmation that you are on the right path. Of course, there will be the occasional course correction here and there, too. It’s all part of the value of taking the time to plan ahead, prepare for the worst…and then end up with a life that is grander than you imagined it could be. This conference will not only reinforce your dream…it will show you how to make it happen—in a very detailed and concrete way. You’ll learn how to navigate across the borders…legal status, tax laws, property transactions, banking and investment prospects, cultural attitudes and approaches…and discover incredible opportunities to profit while you also avoid surefire sources of frustration and delay. You’ll also find that our speakers and staff possess a wealth of knowledge, experience, and insight into the journey you’re about to undertake. I hope you take advantage of them—really, they don’t mind! I can also tell you from my years of experience hosting conferences, that your fellow attendees will be some of the most interesting people you’ve ever met. Take the opportunity to strike up conversations during dinners and cocktail hour. You’re sure to learn a thing or two that’s not on our official agenda. Don’t be surprised if you meet a potential business partner, or a future neighbor, or a new friend who knows all about your intended destination…or perhaps introduces you to a destination you hadn’t even considered. As you engage in countless conversations, you’ll want to gather contact information so you can stay in touch after the conference ends. Also, if you’d like more of an introduction to our exhibitors before you wander into the exhibit area, take a minute to turn to the Speakers and Exhibitors section of this packet, where you’ll find their names, company affiliation, and bio. As with any good learning experience, every answer you get will prompt more questions. One of the best sources of additional information is our networking and exhibit area, where you’ll find staff, presenters, and outside professionals throughout the conference. Strike up conversations, ask questions, pick up books and brochures, and learn about investment opportunities and even discounts that you might be eligible for as a conference attendee. Be sure to check them out right away because some are only good during the conference. You won’t want to miss out by waiting until you get home! Enjoy the inspiration of being around like-minded people…the stimulation of being around knowledgeable experts and experienced expats…and the opportunity to finally discover your own personal paradise. And thank you for giving International Living a chance to be part of making that dream come true this week.
