Colombia is more than a move. It could be your next chapter.
Most Colombia content gives you fragments: a neighborhood tour, a visa explainer, a property listing, or someone else's highlight reel. Colombia Unlocked brings the whole picture into one room.
Meet Colombian residents, city insiders, experienced expats, and trusted professionals. Explore daily life, relationships, healthcare, housing, work, property, business, money, and long-term planning before you make a major decision.
Know what to expect—before Colombia becomes your plan.
No fantasy. No fearmongering. No pretending every city, tax situation, or safety risk is the same. This is where qualified professionals explain the consequences, the warning signs, and the questions you need to ask.
U.S. obligations
Learn why moving abroad does not automatically end U.S. filing duties and when foreign accounts, assets, companies, gifts, or income can create additional reporting.
Moving and holding money
Get clear on banking, foreign exchange, source-of-funds documentation, investment registration, account access, and the friction nobody mentions in a property pitch.
Protecting your assets
See how independent legal review, clean title, contracts, ownership structure, insurance, and fraud red flags help protect what you bring and what you build.
Protecting yourself
Discuss regional and neighborhood differences, transportation habits, common crime patterns, nightlife decisions, emergency response, and trusted local contacts without sugarcoating.
Your Plan B
Build liquidity, document access, healthcare coverage, wills, family instructions, backup housing, and an exit plan before a difficult day forces the decision.
The goal is education and better questions. Personal medical, insurance, legal, tax, financial, immigration, and security decisions still require qualified professionals working directly for you.
Healthcare in Colombia
Know how care works before you need it.
Moving your life means knowing how to arrange coverage, find trusted care, continue treatment, and respond when something cannot wait. Track C gives healthcare its own five-session program.
Explore the healthcare track- 01
Choose the right coverage mix
Compare enrollment through Colombia’s EPS health system, prepaid private health plans (medicina prepagada), private insurance, international coverage, eligibility, networks, exclusions, and the questions to ask before choosing.
- 02
Build your care network
Understand how to find primary care, specialists, clinics, hospitals, diagnostics, dental care, and vision care in the city where you plan to live.
- 03
Continue prescriptions and treatment
Plan for medical records, medication availability, refills, specialist follow-up, chronic conditions, and continuity between U.S. and Colombian providers.
- 04
Understand the real costs
Ask how premiums, copays, cash-pay appointments, procedures, reimbursement, and uncovered services may fit into your Colombia budget.
- 05
Prepare for emergencies and aging
Map urgent care, ambulance and hospital decisions, emergency contacts, home support, medical travel, evacuation coverage, and family instructions.
Education before individual advice
Your right plan depends on residency, eligibility, age, health history, provider access, and policy terms. The conference helps you understand the system and interview qualified professionals for your circumstances.
Ten tracks. One complete view of life in Colombia.
Day one helps you discover, prepare, and connect. Day two helps you build, protect, and shape what comes next.
The complete schedule
See every hour before you choose your rooms.
Each day is listed from start to finish. Every track shows its fireside conversation, all five concurrent live talks, and the exact time for networking, the Expo, guided Q&A, and the live closing session.
Ten one-to-one rounds. Eight guided topics.
Every track ends with its own speed-networking round before the next track begins. Guided Q&A runs from 5:30 to 6:00 PM in four topic rooms, followed by the live Expo closing session.
One-to-one speed networking
Fireside. Breakout rooms. Then meet someone new.
Each of the ten tracks follows the same rhythm. After the fireside and five breakout choices, join a private, timed conversation with a fresh match before the next track starts.
City and neighborhood fit

Visas and your landing plan
Ask immigration and relocation professionals about documents, timing, banking, moving, and household setup.
Healthcare, safety, and daily life
Discuss care options, insurance, transportation, routines, neighborhood risk, and emergency planning.
Belonging and local culture

Property and housing decisions
Question independent property professionals about renting, buying, title, pricing, management, and exit options.
Taxes, banking, and protecting money
Bring cross-border questions about tax residence, U.S. obligations, accounts, money movement, insurance, and contingency plans.
Work, business, and investing
Explore remote income, local companies, partnerships, talent, diligence, and where newcomers can create value.
Retirement, family, and long-term life
Discuss part-time living, purpose, family ties, healthcare, aging, and a realistic plan for the years ahead.

You are seriously exploring your next chapter in Colombia.
- You are often 45+ and considering a move, second home, part-time base, retirement, or fresh start.
- You may be younger, but you are approaching Colombia with the same seriousness and curiosity.
- You want candid conversations with locals and experienced expats, not another highlight reel.
- You want trustworthy professional connections before you need to make a major decision.
The fantasy version of moving abroad.
- Guaranteed returns, “zero tax” promises, or instant-passive-income pitches.
- Visa workarounds and legal shortcuts.
- Tourism and nightlife presented as a complete picture of Colombian life.
- One-size-fits-all advice about cities, property, relationships, or retirement.
Clear answers start here.
Is this only for people over 45?
No. The program is shaped around the questions people often face in midlife and beyond, but younger professionals, founders, investors, and globally minded families are welcome.
Is this a relocation, lifestyle, or investment conference?
It connects all three. Life in Colombia touches community, healthcare, housing, work, property, money, and long-term planning. The event helps you understand how those pieces fit together.
When and where is the conference?
Colombia Unlocked takes place live online on Saturday, February 6 and Sunday, February 7, 2027. You can participate from the United States, Colombia, or anywhere in the world.
What language is the conference?
English. Every session, fireside chat, guided Q&A room, speed-networking round, and live Expo interaction is conducted in English. Spanish interpretation and translated session feeds will not be available.
Will every conference segment happen live?
The 50 expert breakout sessions, guided Q&A rooms, speed-networking rounds, chat, and Expo interactions happen live. Selected fireside conversations may be recorded in advance and premiered during their scheduled conference slot. Replay videos and Action Packs are separate post-purchase offers.
How will the live networking work?
Every track follows the same rhythm: a 30-minute fireside chat, five concurrent 30-minute breakout sessions, and then a 30-minute speed-networking round. Speed networking rotates you through short, private one-to-one conversations before the next track begins. After the final round, guided Q&A lets you choose from four live topic rooms.
Will you cover taxes, banking, and protecting money?
Yes. The program includes Colombian international-tax professionals, U.S. international-tax professionals, cross-border legal and banking specialists, and independent risk experts. Sessions will explain common obligations, decision points, and warning signs without pretending one answer fits every attendee.
Will you cover healthcare in Colombia?
Yes. Track C is a complete five-session healthcare program covering EPS and private coverage options, doctors and hospital networks, prescriptions and chronic-care continuity, typical cost categories, and emergency and aging plans. The sessions provide education and questions to take to qualified medical and insurance professionals.
Will the sessions provide medical, legal, tax, or investment advice?
The conference provides education and access to professionals. Medical, insurance, legal, tax, financial, and investment advice for your circumstances must come from appropriately qualified professionals engaged directly by you.
What does the live-event ticket include?
Your ticket includes both live days, all ten tracks, every fireside and expert session, ten one-to-one speed-networking rounds, both guided Q&A blocks, and the Colombia Unlocked Expo. Replay videos, transcripts, and Action Packs are sold separately after ticket purchase.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Add one companion All Access Pass for 50% of the final price you pay for your first pass. If a coupon reduces your pass from $500 to $400, your companion pass is $200 and both passes total $600.
Can I attend while I am still researching Colombia?
Yes. The conference is built to help you compare options, identify risks, meet the right people, and decide whether Colombia belongs in your future before you make a major commitment.
Can I attend as a professional without buying a vendor booth?
Yes. U.S. professionals may attend, learn, and make mutual connections as professional peers. Attendee access does not include a booth, speaking slot, sponsor promotion, lead export, the full attendee list, or mass solicitation. If your primary goal is visibility and lead capture, the Expo partnership is the appropriate path.
Can people living in Colombia attend just to connect?
Yes. Colombian residents, local business owners, community builders, and experienced residents can request a Colombia Connector invitation. Their role is to share useful local perspective, meet future residents, and form relationships through the live networking program.
Meet Colombia before you book the flight.
Spend two live days asking questions, meeting people, and building the knowledge and relationships you need before Colombia becomes your next move.
