IMI Connect Buenos Aires gathers the market in Argentina

As of November 2026, around 125 senior investment migration professionals are meeting in Buenos Aires for IMI Connect Buenos Aires, held from 2 to 4 November. It is the first time the event has come to South America, and it arrives as Argentina's newly announced citizenship-by-investment programme draws growing international attention.

Organised by Investment Migration Insider (IMI), the gathering is the 10th edition of IMI Connect, a series that has run since Lisbon in 2022. It is a deliberately small, off-the-record format, with no booths, paid speakers or sales pitches, and it is closed to media and government representatives. The programme opened with a welcome reception at Hipódromo Palermo. Today's private discussions take place at La Rural, followed by dinner at Palacio Paz, and the event closes on 4 November at Yacht Club Puerto Madero.

The host country is expected to feature prominently in conversations. On 2 October 2026, Argentina's government announced a programme built on a US$350,000 non-refundable Treasury contribution, with a target launch in the fourth quarter of 2026. The programme is not yet open to applications. As of 1 November, the detailed implementing rules had not been published, and opposition bills to ban the scheme are pending in Congress.

Joseph Boll, founder of Frederick Capital, a boutique consultancy, is attending. He described the opening evening as a welcome chance to catch up with old friends and meet new colleagues, with the substantive discussions taking place today.
