Hi Matt, you and Doug are doing a terrific job. I'd be in for this chance to spend quality time with like-minded individuals who are serious about securing their future. I understand that you need a certain capital basis to even consider a step like relocating to Uruguay. Some information on that would help to define the target audience for the conference. Thanks for a short feedback, Thomas

Greetings- I am in. Is there a way to confirm where this payment is going? I am willing to get started, but I don't love the idea of sending payment cold. I guess I am scam weary. Thanks

Hi Matt - A plan B is appealing and Uruguay is intriguing. Discussions I’ve had in several countries brings thoughts that every ex-pat is running from something. True in Uruguay too? A more positive question is what brought you and Doug to choose Uruguay? Or any of the 130 countries other than your original home? Are you / were you US citizens? Running away from the US isn’t necessarily smart. Running to something clearly better is what ought to be.

Can you provide the percentage of attendees are from the US? The US tax laws are punitive when considering transferring wealth away from the US. I’m interested in attending for the conference and more ex-pat discussions. But can you provide a specific (or at least a general idea) wealth diversification and wealth protection move for a US plan B in Uruguay? This would help me decide in favor of attending.

Additionally, is the regenerative farming you speak of run organically and void of the US corporate type farms with all its chemicals, pesticide's, processing and hormones?

Thank you!

I think that statement is generally true. And the thing many are running from is themselves. They don’t understand why their troubles still find them.

This is also why we don’t participate in the “expat community” whatever that actually means.

That said, my family came here running towards the life we believed we could build here.

Matt---I missed this last one. I was planning to go this fall but my oldest grand daughter is getting married in the US at that time. I am thrilled for her of course but disappointed I will miss this second one. Will you be doing a third one after the 1st of the year into 2026??

This sounds very interesting, and thanks for the invite, Matt!

Question: I know > 90% of information and discussions will focus on Uruguay. But there will be some discussion around the financial impacts (and opportunities) for those exploring and pursuing an "international residence", and possibly residency or (later) passport. All mention of this relate to American citizens.

I know that your audience is very international. And even though Kanada (formerly Trudekastan) has 1/10th the population of our neighbour to the south, the percentage of the population wanting to escape the WEF/CCP-controlled Marxist hellscape (that Canada has become) is quite high.

QUESTION: Do you have any resources for Canadians?

Can you examine the breakout of nationalities of your attendees, and possibly offer alternate sessions for some of the non-Americans? (I suspect that many EU residents are also trying to flee the occupation of their countries by the EU)

Here is a personal suggestion that could minimize the burden of executing on information sessions for attendees from other countries: Do NOT do the work of researching taxation rules, exit taxes, etc. and creating your own materials. That is the most difficult "brute force" solution.

But DO research consultants in these topics from the home countries of your attendees.

Then INVITE those consultants to prepare a briefing for their compatriots (wrong word?) and present it to your group. You could run them back-to-back for the different countries (example: 3 minutes per country X 5 countries = 15 minute presentation ... maybe followed by discussions.) This could happen in parallel using a second meeting room for these presentations, however, I think that is not necessary.

Simply arrange the financial and taxation discussions to be the last topic for the informational meeting sessions. Ask for a show of hands for people who already have explored their homeland's laws and taxation, or have a professional (accountant, tax-lawyer, consultant, ...) handling this for them. Then excuse them to head to "Happy Hour" early. List the names of countries to be discussed (USA, Canada, UK, etc) and suggest that anyone who is not from any of those countries may also exit the room early. Then present info in order from most attendees to the smallest number. After each presentation, invite those from the country just presented to exit. This process the minimize the number of "total attendee minutes" spent watching presentations that are not relevant to themselves.

Note: All of these financial and taxation consultants will already have presentations available, and maybe even different length/detail versions. Give them your media (Logos, etc) to customize their title page for your audience, and also get their permission to share with your members. They may give you permission to put their shortest "elevator pitch" on your websites for visitors (non-members) to view and download. Just be sure to take any MS PowerPoint or Google Present files and output as generic Acrobat PDF files before posting for public consumption.

Sorry for the long post.

Again, very interested.

Hi Matt, i attempted to register but not sure if it went through. Can you use my email to advise if you received payment. If not, i will see what i can do. I am in Canada but used a US credit card so sometime things do astray. The registration was for myself plus one. Thanks Ilona Boyce
