The Global Financial Planning Event of The Year in Próspera, Roatan
The GFP Connect 2026 conference is set to take place from January 17–19, 2026 in Prospera, Roatan, Honduras, marking a significant gathering for international financial planners and cross-border wealth professionals. Hosted by the Global Financial Planning Institute (GFPI), this event is widely recognized as one of the leading global financial planning forums of the year, designed to connect thought leaders, practitioners, and advisors specializing in international and cross-border financial, tax, and estate planning.
At a time when global mobility, expatriation, and cross-border wealth strategies are increasingly central to financial planning practices, GFP Connect 2026 offers a unique opportunity to engage with expert speakers, explore emerging trends, and deepen professional capabilities. The conference draws a distinguished roster of presenters, including wealth managers, cross-border tax specialists, estate planning attorneys, and global mobility experts, all of whom bring international experience and practical insights to the forefront of the discussion.
A Global Forum for Cross-Border Financial Professionals
Formed in 2020, the Global Financial Planning Institute exists to support financial planners, wealth managers, private bankers, accountants, and other advanced professionals addressing the challenges of international and expatriate planning. Through education, community building, operational tools, and research, the Institute seeks to elevate global best practices for serving clients who live, work, invest, and retire across borders.
GFP Connect 2026 stands at the core of this mission, combining a structured agenda of sessions with ample networking opportunities. Attendees can expect a comprehensive program including insights into cross-border taxation, residency and citizenship planning, retirement strategies for expatriates, and the latest trends shaping global wealth management.
Programming and Conference Experience
The agenda for GFP Connect 2026 blends formal learning sessions with interactive conversation, networking receptions, and professional exchanges. Sessions begin on the evening of January 17 with introductory remarks and networking opportunities, followed by a full two days of expert presentations and panel discussions.

Beyond the sessions, attendees have opportunities for informal engagement, including cocktails, dinners, and dedicated networking time — all designed to foster collaboration and build lasting professional relationships within the global financial planning community.
