Attendees with various EB-5 program knowledge levels had the opportunity to learn about pressing investment immigration issues via a dual-track of beginner and advanced panels. The panels covered a broad spectrum of current and forward-looking EB-5 matters, from“ Migration Agents: Selling EB-5 in the Likelihood of a New Era,” to“ The Expanding Role of the Broker-Dealer,” to“ Regional Center / Issuer Obstacles: What Lies Ahead in 2017.”
The 90-plus panelists included preeminent immigration professionals, regional center owners and creators, securities attorneys, migration agency principals and other major EB-5 service providers. Rep. Polis also provided further insight from Capitol Hill during the“ EB-5 Government and Legislation Considerations” panel, which was especially timely given the DHS’ s announcement of the proposed changes to the EB-5 program.
facilitators mingled during the scheduled coffee breaks, building connections in an intimate environment, and the networking opportunities continued with a private cocktail reception for invited guests.
The full-day convention in January commenced with a full house at the general session and breakfast, with Rep. Polis delivering a keynote address that highlighted the importance of continuing and improving the EB-5 program. Before an equally packed house during the general session and lunch, keynote speaker Sen. Flake expressed a similar dedication to extending and increasing the integrity of the EB-5 program.
The 2017 Las Vegas EB-5 & Investment Immigration Convention concluded on Saturday evening with a cocktail reception for all guests, providing a final opportunity to review the material presented and to build community. Throughout the entire conference, attendees had ample chance to network, weigh in on EB-5 industry news and interact with sponsors at the impressive array of booths in the Exhibitor Hall.
Both familiar and new faces were present at the Fourth Annual Las Vegas EB-5 & Investment Immigration Convention, and there was overwhelmingly positive feedback about the event, including the panel topics and panelist selection. We look forward to continuing to facilitate EB-5 program-learning and communitybuilding around the globe at the 2017 San Francisco EB-5 & Investment Immigration Convention in July.
