Plan B Conference 2026
September 18-19 | Panama City, Panama
A Return to Our Roots:
Focus on Pure Plan B Strategies
Sign Ups Opening Tomorrow, June 10
The world is changing faster than ever.
Geopolitical tensions reshaping alliances that stood for decades. Economic uncertainty becoming the new normal. Central banks experimenting with policies once considered unthinkable. Currency debasement that is accelerating. Policy shifts that rewrite the rules overnight, sometimes retroactively.
And beneath it all, a growing sense that the old playbook no longer applies.
It’s time we gathered again.
And we’re bringing back the conference format that started it all.
When we created Sovereign Man back in 2009 (now Schiff Sovereign), the mission was clear: give our members real options, actionable information, and practical strategies to build security and freedom regardless of what happens in any single country. That core purpose has never been more relevant than it is today.
So we’re returning to our roots—two days focused mostly on Plan B strategies. No fluff. No distractions. Just discussions and solutions for second residencies, citizenships, real estate opportunities, tax structures, offshore banking, real asset investing, and the practical tools you need.
You need options. Real ones. And that’s exactly what we’ll focus on in our upcoming event.
What You Can Expect
Direct access to the specialists who've actually helped our members establish residencies, acquire strategic properties, and structure their affairs.
Face time with James Hickman and Peter Schiff, our founders who've been navigating these waters for decades.
Real conversations with fellow members who share your worldview.
The kind of actionable intelligence you can't find anywhere else…and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Travel & Logistics
Q: How do I get to Panama City?
Panama City has excellent international connectivity. Major US hubs (Miami, Houston, New York) have multiple daily flights to Tocumén International Airport (PTY). Flight time from Miami is roughly 2.5 hours. We recommend arriving by Thursday afternoon/evening to settle in before the conference begins on Friday morning.
Q: Do I need a visa to enter Panama?
Most US, Canadian, and EU citizens do not need a visa for Panama. You’ll receive a tourist card upon arrival valid for 180 days. Bring your passport (valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates). If you’re from a country that requires a visa, contact the Panamanian embassy in advance.
Q: What about travel insurance?
We recommend travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, medical expenses, and evacuation. Many credit cards offer basic coverage — check yours first.
Accommodations
Q: Where should I stay?
We’ve negotiated a discounted group rate at the conference hotel. Details and booking information will be shared with you after registration. This is our recommendation, but you’re welcome to book elsewhere if you prefer.
Q: Are there other hotel options nearby?
Yes. Panama City has options ranging from budget to luxury in neighborhoods like Casco Viejo (historic), Punta Pacifica (upscale), and El Cangrejo (central). We recommend staying within walking distance or a short taxi ride of the conference venue.
Q: How far is the hotel from the airport?
Roughly 20-30 minutes by taxi, depending on traffic. Uber is available and reliable. Expect $15-25 for the ride.
