The Good Life is Calling Your Name

Date: 08/10/2006
Do you know the names of these six people? (Don’t worry, we’ll give you a clue.)

Imagine a new life with less stress, a lower cost of living, and an endless number of new and exciting opportunities for fun, adventure, and profit… Imagine better weather, more free time to flex your creative muscles, and more time to spend with loved ones…

Well, we want to give you the chance to stop imagining and start living.

Our biggest event of the year is fast approaching and we’d like to give three lucky readers (and three guests) the chance to come join the entire IL staff, as well as a wide range of experts in Montreal, Canada…free. Over four power-packed days at our Live Overseas Conference, you'll pick up more insider intelligence and on-the-ground know-how than you ever could in a year spent researching on your own.

All you have to do is identify the speakers in the five photos above (don't worry, we'll give you clues to make it a little easier).

At our Live Overseas Conference, not only will you benefit from the formal presentations and workshops, but you'll have a chance to meet with all our experts and expats casually, have a drink at the bar--and "pick their brains" as it were.

As more than one attendee commented, the true benefit of our events is networking. Meeting the people in-the-know…the people who live and work in the countries International Living tells you about. Brad Geffen, Missouri, said it best:

"At first blush, it seemed somewhat expensive and the timing seemed too tight for our busy schedule…then we scanned the list of internationally-known presenters, their unique qualifications, and the material to be covered. That cinched it for us. 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."

I can also tell you from my years of experience hosting conferences, that your fellow attendees will tend to be some of the most interesting people you’ve ever met. You’ll get a chance to strike up conversations during dinners and cocktail hour, and learn a thing or two that’s not on the 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.

We'll ensure you're well-connected by the time this conference comes to a close…and if you can identify the six speakers in the photos above, it may not cost you a dime (flights are not included in the Grand Prize, but if you introduce yourself during the conference, I'll spring for the first round of cocktails).

Good luck--I hope to see you in Montreal.

P.S. You won't go away empty-handed, even if you don't get the one of the three Grand Prizes--everyone who enters the quiz gets a $100 voucher good for our Live Overseas Conference in Montreal.

P.P.S. The last time we ran a quiz for the Live Overseas Conference, we only had one set of tickets as a prize. This time, because we’re giving away three sets of tickets, we’ve tripled your chance of winning! Enter now: http://www.il-ireland.com/il/quiz/los-quiz

Editor’s note: Earlier this month, several International Living staff--some of whom you’ll meet in Montreal--were interviewed by Janet Luhrs, author of the monthly newsletter, Simple Living. Recently returned from a trip to Mexico, Janet shared with her readers advice about reinventing yourself, buying a second home, or retiring overseas...for less. Janet, we’re happy we could help.

Take a look--her observations about Mexico are interesting and insightful, and may inspire you to make your dream a reality: http://phobos.doctorspreferred.com/Apps/DCS/mcp?q=ST400STGpA678n
