A specialized investment conference connecting the global Jamaican diaspora to local property and investment opportunities in Jamaica is scheduled to take place on June 5, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Sunrise – Sawgrass Mills in South Florida, organized by Black Ink Marketing Event Solutions Limited.
Billed as the “From Deed to Key Investment Housing Conference” and themed “Invest in Your Piece of Di Rock”, the gathering comes amid a growing, unmet demand from Jamaicans living overseas for credible, actionable guidance on property-related activities back home. In recent years, more diaspora members have pursued projects ranging from purchasing residential property to developing inherited land and securing financing for real estate ventures, but many have faced gaps in trusted information and access to legitimate industry partners. This conference was developed specifically to address that gap.
The full-day event will combine educational sessions, collaborative panel discussions and structured networking opportunities, with leading industry experts covering a wide spectrum of critical topics for diaspora investors. Attendees will gain insights into the step-by-step process of securing official land titles, common real estate fraud schemes and how to avoid falling victim to them, the full pipeline of real estate investment from capital raising to project completion, strategies for building long-term wealth that extends beyond physical land and housing, structuring assets to protect generational legacies, public-private partnership initiatives in the Jamaican housing sector, and modern construction techniques that build climate-resilient, future-proof structures.
Headlining the event as keynote speaker is David Mullings, a prominent Jamaican entrepreneur and investor who serves as chairman and chief executive officer of Blue Mahoe Capital. Other key participants will include representatives from real estate development firms, financial lending institutions, legal practices, realty agencies, and Jamaican government bodies, all of which will have the opportunity to connect directly with attendees who are actively seeking to invest or purchase property.
Maxine Miller, the lead organizer of the conference, explained that the core mission of the initiative is to close the persistent information gap that has prevented many diaspora members from pursuing their property goals, while creating a vetted, trusted platform for engagement between overseas Jamaicans and local industry and government stakeholders in Jamaica.
Miller emphasized that the event is far more than a one-time industry gathering: “This is more than just a conference; it is a movement focused on empowering Jamaicans abroad to confidently invest, build wealth and secure their legacy through property ownership and development back home.”
The South Florida launch was strategically chosen to serve the large Jamaican diaspora community based in the region, and organizers intend for this to be the first in a series of international events designed to increase diaspora participation in Jamaica’s housing and broader investment ecosystem. As Miller put it, “We believe the South Florida staging will serve as the first of several international engagements aimed at strengthening diaspora participation in Jamaica’s housing and investment landscape. We are taking Jamaica…to Jamaicans.”
