Dear Fellow World Explorer,
I met a reader last year at a Conference in Mexico who told me, over drinks on the beach our first evening together, that this was the sixth International Living Event he'd attended...and he had no intention of missing any in the future, either.
He confided that he first came for the nuts-and-bolts information. But what brought him back, year after year, was the like-minded company.
I had to admit that I feel the same way. We started offering our events for a lot of solid and smart reasons - to share information with our readers, show you places we'd discovered firsthand, give you a glimpse of your new life overseas and the connections you needed to make it happen. The list goes on and on.
But my secret reason for enjoying them so much is exactly the same as the man I met in Mexico. Meeting good people. Sharing similar interests. Having good times. All over the world.
In my book, it doesn't get much better than that. And that chance conversation - and many others just like it over the years - made me realize that there are probably enough of us to join forces and create something special...and dare I say, just a wee bit exclusive.
So if you're committed to making 2008 the year you start making your dreams of a new life...a new start...a second chance...or of windfall profits overseas come true...
Or you just love the atmosphere and community you find at any IL conference or event...I've got great news. Now, you can...
Explore The World As Often As You'd Like -
For A Fraction Of The Cost

"These conferences are incredible - always exposed to valuable information that the average person may not have even considered to learn about." Richard Staufer, Superior, CO |
Starting today, you could explore more of the world's best opportunities, spend much less money in the process, all the while enjoying personalized attention, perks, and privileges usually reserved for big-spenders and high-rollers.
I'll warn you up front: What I'm going to detail for you here may seem almost too good to be true. But let me assure you - it's a very real offer, and we're prepared to deliver. After more than 15 years hosting Events, Conferences, and Tours, we've learned a thing or two about taking care of people on the road.
And after more than 28 years researching and exploring the world's most interesting and appealing overseas havens...we know something about them, too. We know where to look for opportunity...and how best to take advantage of it when you find it. It's all about connections. And, dear reader, we've got 'em.
It's this experience and these in-country connections and resources that make it possible for us now to offer you membership in the International Living World Club.
It's all about traveling more and spending less...seeing more of the world's best opportunities for the would-be traveler, investor, retiree, and expatriate abroad...while saving money (sometimes lots of it) and enjoying the highest possible level of service in-country.
Specifically, as a World Club member:

"Worth the cost of the seminar: IL saved me 1.5% of 250,000." Byron Enroth, Plymouth, MN |
Not only could your World Club membership save you thousands of dollars off future Conference and Event fees - starting with the very next one you attend - but it also ushers you into a league of your own when it comes to the amenities and perks you'll be entitled to as a card-carrying member, such as:

Feel Free To Exercise Your 'Armchair Option'

"The seminar was above my expectations. I thought it would be more of a "sales" seminar, however the mix of speakers and topics was excellent. Good split between available properties and information on Nicaragua. IL staff was very accommodating.I enjoyed the cocktails the most. A great opportunity to meet all the randoms participating in the conference in a social setting."T. Scott Gemmell

Plus, there are plenty of World Club perks you can take advantage of even if you're not able to join us in person.
When you become a World Club member, you'll receive a personalized membership card containing your all-important pass code. This code gives you carte blanche to enter the password-protected area on the IL Events website, where you'll gain access to the materials from every Conference and Event we hold.

Even When IL Events Go Virtual,
You'll Be There!
The IL Events group is going high-tech. In 2008, our calendar will include both Webinars and Teleconferences to keep you connected on the ground and informed up-to-the-minute in this fast-moving markets. As a World Club member, you'll be able to tune in every time:
- Webinars: These offer you the best of both worlds. Watch the event unfold live...right from your own comfy chair in front of your computer screen! You can even interact with the presenter to ask questions - and get answers - in real time. As a World Club member, tune in for every Webinar on the schedule...free.
- Teleconferences: Sometimes world events unfold fast - and our live Teleconferences allow us to respond on a dime, too. Take the recent election in Nicaragua. Some investors in this country were concerned that the new government under old-time leftist Daniel Ortega might put their real estate holdings in jeopardy. So we organized a Teleconference of friends and colleagues with interests and experience in this country to discuss this hot topic in a live and informal environment. Listen in and learn what insiders and experts in-the-know are thinking and doing as a result of recent events. Our 2008 plan is to hold at least one Teleconference per quarter. As a World Club member, you could be on the line for each and every one...no extra charge.
Oh, The Places You'll Go...

"It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. The synergy created by all involved has allowed us to now pursue our dreams with a speed, confidence and efficiency that borders on shocking. We have also forged dozens of new friendships with like-minded out-of-the-box thinkers that share our thoughts, dreams and values." Brad Geffen, Thiodosia, MO "It was a complete education on living and investing overseas. The topics were diverse and the majority of the speakers were finest-rate. I can't think of anything you didn't cover. I'm exhausted!"
"This was my first IL conference and I am overloaded with information - good information. Very impressive speakers. I would recommend to anyone buying overseas to attend an IL conference." Colette Eldridge Smith, Pendleton, OR "We came to see the country and get a feel for Panama and we were not disappointed. Meeting people from all over the world and finding out their goals and life style was very interesting." Tom Kitchen, Irvine, Alberta, Canada |
If you're a longtime reader of these dispatches, you're well familiar already with the Events, Tours, and Conferences we offer. It's worth a minute, now, though, to review, specifically, the cornucopia of conference choices and travel options you'll have available to you as a World Club member.
Our 2008 calendar includes a variety of Events. The ever-expanding list of programs in the world's top retirement, investment, expat, and offshore havens includes:
- Live and Invest Overseas Conferences - These are the perfect events for you if you're just beginning to explore your dreams of living in Paradise and haven't yet narrowed down your search to specific destinations. Our Live and Invest Overseas Conferences make a solid first step. You get just one shot at these each year. In April 2007, our entire Live and Invest Overseas team convened for three information packed days in Las Vegas. Our next Live & Invest Overseas conference will be in Long Beach, California, this October.
- Live and Invest Seminars - When you narrow your focus to particular destinations, there's no better way to discover firsthand what opportunities each offers than by attending a Live and Invest Seminar on the ground. These are hands-down the best way you'll find when you're ready to get to know a country intimately and as an insider. At each Live and Invest Seminar, you'll get a taste for local life while enjoying personal introductions to everyone you could ever need or want to know to make it as easy as possible for you to realize every dream you might have. You couldn't recreate this experience on your own. Dozens of top in-country experts and resources are convened in one place over three days to answer your every question. Between now and the end of 2008, we'll be holding Live and Invest Seminars in Panama and Mexico. And this list is expanded every year.
- International Living's Ultimate Events - At the Ultimate Event you get it all: Travel, Investment, Retirement, Offshore Havens, and much, much more. Looking to retire overseas? Maybe interested in owning your own second home in the sun? Perhaps you're keen to make some money? Or maybe you want advice on how to protect and preserve the money you've already got. For our annual Ultimate Event, it's all hands on deck. Every IL expert on every topic of interest to IL readers is convened for four head-spinning days. You've never experienced anything like it.
[It's worth mentioning that the Ultimate Event carries a price tag of $1,195. Regardless, as for every Event, World Club members get in free...and are invited to return as many times as they like over the lifetime of their World Club membership without ever paying another cent. Furthermore, these and other Event fees will be increased in the future, making your World Club membership ever more valuable.]

"For me the seminar was a great help pulling together the whole picture. Thank you for all your s. The conference has been a remarkable overview of the excitement and challenges facing someone who plans to invest or live in this country. Seats us on the fast track. Most informative and most enjoyable. Muchas Gracias! Appreciate all the hard work that went into this thoughtful introduction." Lissa de Loja, Amagansett, NY

I'm not suggesting you're going to hop on a plane every month - like we do! - and come to every Event on our calendar. (Although you shouldn't count out the possibility altogether. )
We want to do everything we can to get you on your feet and on your way. And we want to reward our most committed, most loyal, most frequent Conference and Events attendees...and to encourage you to keep coming back for more.
Because there's always so much more to learn...to discover...to consider...and to enjoy...
Turn Every Dream
Into A Real Possibility
|
"This is my first IL conference and the wealth of information presented will I'm sure, prove invaluable...I appreciate the time spent to field all questions, even the controversial areas and the ones that were unfamiliar to the presenters, because they were honest to say they were not sure, but would be willing to find out the appropriate information later. The amount of information and written literature exceeded my expectations, and it was easy to approach all of the speakers and the other seminar attendees for networking. The program's content allowed me to realize that I can live and Invest in Panama" Dr. Pamela Dentler, Brooklyn, NY |
You have dreams right now for a new life and new chance abroad. You may have different dreams...new and more dreams next month...next year...the year after that.
Reinvent yourself in Panama in 2008...and then buy yourself a second home on the sunny shores of Mexico in 2009. Start a business importing crafts from the mainland coast of Honduras this year...then expand your enterprise to include pottery from Nicaragua 12 months from now. Buy ranchland in Salta today...invest in Montevideo's old town next quarter.
In our office in Waterford we have on the wall a super-sized map of the world. It's 9 feet high and stretches 13 feet across. We tell visitors we have it there, in constant and plain view, so we can keep an eye on things.
The world map is changing all the time...and the opportunities the countries marked on it offer are constantly moving targets.
Markets move up...and down. Currencies are devalued and dollarized. Presidents come and go. Taxes are enacted...and repealed. Residency laws are adjusted...passport programs folded...investor incentives adjusted...new property developments are started...old ones add new phases...
Hard to keep up. To be able to act on opportunity, you've got to know it exists. To know about opportunity in another country, you've got to visit.
Then, perhaps, visit again later.
That's why our 2008 calendar includes such a variety of Events.

"First Class! You covered all the fundamental bases of reinventing one's self, financial freedom, where to enjoy life, etc. the presenters were excellent and professional. This seminar is for anyone who wants to bring some jazz into their life. Kudos, to the IL staff. Great job. This seminar is the perfect balm for those who need assistance figuring out the next stage of their life - a life that's bound to be more invigorating than their past life (virtual reincarnation so to speak)." Jim Thomas, Portland, OR "This was my first IL conference after having been a life member for more than two years. I am more than impressed in the way you have run it. All speakers were readily available for individual discussion both during the conference and in the restaurant/bar afterwards. I would certainly join another International Living conference as I feel the sourcing of the information and quality of the introduction will save a lot of groundwork and provide reliable professionals who will be invaluable for those considering a future life and/or investment in a foreign land."

This is all about guilt-free indulgence. Shop the world for opportunity...and keep coming back for more.
You never know where your World Club membership might take you. This past year, we offered:
Live & Invest Seminars in Nicaragua, Panama (three times), Mexico (twice), Uruguay, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Europe; Live Overseas Conference in Las Vegas; an Import-Export Workshop in Nicaragua; and the second annual Ultimate Event, in Panama.
All these events would have been eligible for complete World Club benefits.
So far this year World Club members have already started enjoying their membership benefits and privileges at the Live and Invest in New Zealand Seminar.
And here's what's on tap for the remainder of 2008:
- Live and Invest Seminars in: Panama (Panama City, July), and Mexico (Merida, November)
- IL's Ultimate Event in Cancun in May
- Live and Invest Overseas Conference in Long Beach, CA (October)
Plus every single Teleconference, Webinar, and audio recording package we generate all year long is yours, too - with nothing more to pay other than your initial membership, plus a small annual maintenance fee of $99 to cover administrative expenses.
If you've been following International Living for any time, you've probably noticed that we're growing at a dizzying pace. We're covering more countries, more markets, more opportunities every month.
As a member of the World Club, you'll never, ever pay to attend any eligible Event.
The More You Travel, The More You Save

"For me, no matter how thoroughly or often I read something, hearing the same information always makes it more real to me. In many cases throughout the conference hearing the information, getting my questions answered, hearing other questions and answers and having the opportunity for one-on-one conversation with the presenters was well worth my time and investment in attending. The IL staff is muy amable, and very hard-working. The new Club Panama is a valuable addition to your services to us. Thank You! The conference was well organized and amazingly on schedule. Overall, I would not have missed this conference - for those who prefer to discover how to 'conquer' Panama on their own, I only hope they get as thorough and honest advice and counsel as we did in the conference. It will take me a while to digest all that I heard here. And, thank you for the great parties." Katharine Cotrell, Portland, OR |
Like any 'frequent flyer' program, the more you take advantage of the benefits of the International Living World Club - the more you save.
Let's say you want to attend our Ultimate Event. As a World Club member, you sign up for the next one free...then, every year going forward, you sign up...again...free!
In the next five years you'd save $5,377 on that one event alone!
Or...maybe you've decided that Panama is the place where you'd like to follow your dreams. You want to attend the next Live and Invest in Panama Seminar. Go for it. Sign up. For free.
You could save enough to cover the down payment on your new Panama home!
Now...you think Panama is the place...but you can't help but wonder what the rest of the world has to offer, as well. You do some virtual touring, downloading the materials from past Live and Invest Seminars in 2008 - and transport yourself to Mexico, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Europe, New Zealand...and beyond. Many of these materials aren't available to the regular public at any price. Those that we do offer to non-attendees can cost $345 or more, but it's all available to you at no additional cost.
Then, when you identify another country you think might offer opportunity for you...again, go for it! Sign yourself up. It's free... for life.
Bring a Friend Free, Too!
|
"The thought of moving was very scary. After the conference I am actually excited about the possibility of living somewhere now. The people we met and heard where very knowledgeable and make the 'trust issue' go away. It is possible. We were concerned that coming here would be a waste of a lot of money, but I think now it's a fabulous idea!" Ann Marie Lee, New Milford, CT |
Now get this:
As a World Club member, not only do you attend every Event for free...
But, you can bring a friend with you to an Event free, too!
How to quantify all this? How to add it all up and figure the value for you?
Not easily. As I've mentioned already, the more you use...the more you save. You could, in fact, save tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your World Club membership. It wouldn't be hard to do. Attend two events a year for the next five years...and the value to you is at least $10,000. You can extrapolate from there.
Plus there are the discounts (an extra 20% for World Club members) on all books, reports, and kits at every Event you attend.
And the free, unlimited access to audio recordings, reports, presentations, and other materials from each Event.
Plus free access to every Webinar and Teleconference we hold. This benefit alone could be worth upward of $1,000 per year.
Plus, there are the intangibles:
|
What's all this worth to you? You have to judge that for yourself.
The price to you to claim all these benefits is a mere one-time payment of $4,995 plus a small annual maintenance fee of $99.
And if you're an International Living Publisher's Roundtable member, no, you pay only $2,995 plus the annual maintenance fee.
The Perks and Price Breaks Last a Lifetime...
But the Window To Become a World Club Member Could Close Fast

"The seminar exceeded my expectations. It was a great event. Excellent. I enjoyed the accessibility of everyone involved. There were no 'superstars' who were 'too good' to rub elbows with everyone." Robert Antonelli, Mechanicsville, VA "The seminar helped us to focus on what country to live in. Overall, I enjoyed all of it. Your staff is most helpful and expansive to what I'm sure (based on myself) is a demanding group of attendees." Karen Mezouane, Reston, VA |
By way of full disclosure I have to point out that Grant Perry and Elaine Finnegan, our intrepid Co-conference Directors, are keen to keep the World Club membership exclusive. They want a small group only. In fact, they are willing to accept only 100 inaugural members. When we've reached this number, membership will be closed. We can't say now for how long.
You know if this invitation makes sense for you or not. No hard sell. World Club membership is valuable to you...or it isn't.
If it is, I have one parting word of advice: Apply for membership right now. Don't think about it too long, because I've no doubt we'll reach the inaugural cap of 100 and the doors will close. Then, Grant and Elaine sit down and will decide how many more we can accept during 2008...if any.
I trust their judgment on these matters - after all, this is the team that creates the events everyone raves about. Who am I to argue?
Sincerely,
Martina Dunphy
Executive Director, International Living
P.S. I have Grant hovering over one shoulder and Elaine over the other! They want to make sure I remind you that during this inaugural invitation they are willing to accept 100 people only into the International Living World Club - and it's first -come, first-served.
P.P.S. Remember, too, that you'll also receive, in addition to all the other benefits, discounts, and perks detailed here, a Companion Voucher you can use to bring a friend with you to an Event at no cost. You come free...your friend comes free...boy, what a deal...
