  • You're seeking freedom from political and social divisions that no longer align with your values
  • You're a digital nomad or remote worker looking for your perfect home base
  • You're LGBTQ+ and want to live somewhere you can be yourself without fear

What attendees tell us

I don't think I have ever been to a conference more organized and informative than this one. Your country experts helped understand what it would be like living in the particular countries. It's clear that you all have created a world class organization.

McCormick Place, Chicago, IL

The Con is at McCormick Place, on the Lake Michigan shore just south of downtown Chicago.

Two airports

Fly into O'Hare or Midway. Both connect to downtown by CTA train: the Blue Line from O'Hare, the Orange Line from Midway.

Easy to reach

The CTA Green Line stops at Cermak–McCormick Place, and the Metra Electric line has its own McCormick Place station.

We'll share hotel options when tickets go on sale.

From a team that lives abroad

Move Abroad Con is run by Expatsi, the team helping thousands of Americans plan their move abroad. We've done it ourselves: the visas, the paperwork, the first year somewhere new. The Con brings that community together in person for two days.
