We work only with assets that endure through cycles
Members get 15–20 chances a year to see projects in person — in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Suzhou. International Property Expos are open to the public; Private Salons, the HNW Wealth Summit and Golf & Club Events are by invitation only; Overseas Property Tours are arranged individually by family; Eastern Hours and Overseas Study Summer Camps run alongside member families.
Half a day, six and a half hours. Registration at 13:30, opening address at 14:00, then five sessions in turn: asset management, residency, commercial investment, education, and relocation & travel. Roundtable at 18:10, dinner at 19:10. The event is not open to the public; entry is by invitation only.
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreOur largest format. Developers set up booths on site; visitors can look at each project and question it one by one, or book a private meeting. The 21st edition runs 26–28 May 2027 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (Futian).
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreA deep dive into a single market or project—price, taxes, holding costs, renting and exit—covered thoroughly in one sitting. Ample time is set aside for questions, so you can get to the root of things.
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreVisit projects on the ground with your advisor, with meetings arranged for local lawyers, banks and developers. What you see is where a property actually sits, who lives nearby, and who it rents to—things no photo can show.
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreTournaments are held during the International Property Expo, with members grouped by city. On the course people talk less about products and more about the markets they are watching and what their families are planning next — real questions come out more easily than across a meeting table.
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreEastern Hours is a quiet retreat to realign your body and mind, reclaim your scattered energy, and return to your inner rhythm.
Reserve a Seat Learn MoreSummer camps arranged for members' children, hosted on local school and college campuses, with cultural activities beyond the classroom. Parents travelling along can look at homes near the school — education and where you live are the same decision.

See PhotosThe projects our members hold come from major cities across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, North America and Asia-Pacific. Every project has been visited on the ground by our team and is handled through a locally licensed partner; prices and terms are presented as they are.

In-depth introduction to a single market or project, 50–80 attendees per session, open to members only

One advisor per family: overseas property, residency, tax and succession on a single timetable, adjusted as policy changes
Each member works with one dedicated advisor throughout. The advisor coordinates the five service lines—asset management, residency, commercial investment, education, and relocation & travel—so you communicate with a single advisor while the team arranges the professional work behind the scenes.
Understand your family structure, asset distribution and schedule
Map out the path and sequence for each of the five lines, delivered as a written plan
The advisor deploys the corresponding teams; you communicate only with your advisor

Partnership slots for 2027 are now open enquiries are welcome
Below are photos from our past roadshows, unretouched.
The shifts we see on the front line, and the questions clients ask most.
Thirty terms Chinese buyers and their advisors use when buying overseas property — CBI, SDA, MPRP, escrow, holding cost, exit liquidity — each in one plain sentence.
Before you spend on a Chinese roadshow or an expo booth, these twelve documents and decisions decide whether the room converts. A checklist for overseas developers.
Domestic property carries a net intention to reduce of about 6%, while overseas assets still average 15% of investable assets — down 1.1 points. Where the money actually goes, and what it means for 2027.
Operational data from our own events and membership — attendance, intent, conversion — plus the four-market figures we cite, each with its source. Updated quarterly.
China market entry notes: buyers now ask how they would exit, not how fast a market rises — what changed, what an exit needs, three tests before buying.
Residency and property interact: where families get stuck buying first, what the other order costs, three questions that settle it. China market entry notes.
Purchase price is the entry fee: the fixed, rental-only and cross-border costs of holding overseas property, and how to size them — China market entry notes.
A meeting lets a family decide where an expo only shows options. What 500 visitors take home, what 98 seats change — China market entry notes.
China market entry notes: after a London event, guests stay to ask about exit and succession, tax and filing, and timetable — why never in the room.
