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 .
