CHORD Real Estate Announces Third Annual Invest Panama Summit, January 14-17, 2027


NASHVILLE, Tennessee, August 31, 2026 – CHORD Real Estate has announced the third annual Invest Panama Summit, scheduled for January 14 through January 17, 2027, in Panama City, Panama. Registration is now open at chordrealestate.com/investpanamasummit.
The summit is a four-day guided experience that brings prospective buyers and investors directly to Panama’s real estate market. The second annual summit, held in May 2026, drew twelve participants from across North America. The third edition is expected to attract a larger group.
The program opens Thursday evening with a welcome reception, giving attendees the opportunity to meet the group and connect with CHORD’s principals before the property tours begin. 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. Saturday extends the tour to Panama’s Pacific coast, including the Chame District and Playa Caracol, where major resort and residential brands are currently under construction. Sunday is reserved for leisure time in the city ahead of departure.
Participants 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.
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.
