CHORD Real Estate has announced the dates for its third annual Invest Panama Summit, set to take place from January 14 to January 17, 2027, in Panama City, Panama. The event is designed to provide prospective buyers and investors with an immersive, on-the-ground look at the country's real estate market, which has seen growing interest from North American buyers.
Registration for the summit is now open at chordrealestate.com/investpanamasummit. The four-day program begins with a welcome reception on Thursday evening, allowing attendees to meet CHORD's principals and fellow participants. The following two days are dedicated to guided tours across key development zones in Panama City, including established urban districts, waterfront communities, and master-planned residential projects. On Saturday, the tour extends to Panama's Pacific coast, covering the Chame District and Playa Caracol, where major resort and residential developments are currently under construction. Sunday is reserved for leisure time before departure.
The summit's format emphasizes direct interaction with developers and active construction sites, giving participants the chance to see projects firsthand and ask questions in person. Feedback from previous summits indicates that attendees find the experience far more revealing than remote research alone, with some entering negotiations on properties during the event. The second annual summit, held in May 2026, attracted twelve participants from across North America, and the upcoming edition is expected to draw a larger crowd.
Steve Luther, founder of CHORD Real Estate, highlighted the importance of firsthand experience in understanding market nuances. "Every market has its nuances," he said. "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, with each area offering different characteristics, price points, and investment considerations. The summit is structured to provide attendees with the context needed to evaluate which opportunities align with their personal goals, whether they seek a second home, a rental property, or a residency-linked purchase. The event is particularly relevant given the ongoing development along Panama's Pacific coast, which has become a hotspot for international buyers.
Spots for the summit are limited and allocated on a first-come basis. Prospective participants are encouraged to contact CHORD Real Estate early to discuss the program and reserve their place.
