CHORD Real Estate, a Nashville-based firm specializing in residential and international property services, has announced the third annual Invest Panama Summit, scheduled for January 14-17, 2027, in Panama City, Panama. Registration is now open at chordrealestate.com/investpanamasummit.
The four-day summit is designed to provide prospective buyers and investors with an immersive, on-the-ground experience in Panama's real estate market. The second annual summit, held in May 2026, drew twelve participants from across North America, and the upcoming edition is expected to attract a larger group.
The program begins with a welcome reception on Thursday evening, allowing attendees to meet the group and connect with CHORD's principals before property tours start. Friday and Saturday are dedicated to visits across Panama City's primary development zones, including established urban districts, waterfront communities, and master-planned residential projects. On Saturday, the tour extends to Panama's Pacific coast, including the Chame District and Playa Caracol, where major resort and residential brands are under construction. Sunday is reserved for leisure time in the city before departure.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to meet directly with developers, walk active construction sites, and tour the areas and projects they have been researching remotely. Feedback from previous summits has been consistent: attendees describe the on-the-ground experience as categorically different from anything research alone produces, with several entering negotiations on properties during the summit itself.
“Every market has its nuances,” said Steve Luther, founder of CHORD Real Estate. “The best way to understand what you are actually buying is to see it yourself, meet the people behind it, and ask your questions in person. That is what the summit is built around.”
Panama's real estate market varies significantly by zone, and each area visited carries its own characteristics, price points, and considerations. The summit format is designed to give participants the context needed to evaluate which opportunities align with their specific goals, whether that is a second home, a rental property, or a residency-linked purchase.
For business and technology leaders, this summit represents a strategic opportunity to diversify investment portfolios through international real estate. With Panama's growing economy and stable political environment, real estate investments there can offer attractive returns and potential residency benefits. The summit's hands-on approach mitigates the risks of remote investing, providing direct access to developers and properties.
Spots are limited and allocated on a first-come basis. Prospective participants are encouraged to reach out early to discuss the program and reserve their place.

The summit's focus on guided site visits and direct interactions with developers is particularly relevant in an era where digital research is abundant but experiential insight is scarce. By bridging that gap, CHORD Real Estate is helping investors make more informed decisions, potentially reshaping how international real estate transactions are approached.
