Welcome from Ramón Sotelo, Ires President

Dear LARES 2015 Delegates,

As President of the International Real Estate Society, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Latin American Real  Estate Society Annual Conference in Sao Paolo.

IRES is an umbrella association committed to encouraging real estate research and education on a global basis, providing means for enhancing the interconnectivity among all the sisters’ societies: the American Real Estate Society, the European Real Estate Society, the Pacific Rim Real Estate Society, the Asian Real Estate Society, the African Real Estate Society and the Latin American Real Estate Society.

Last year I had the opportunity to join your conference in Rio and since than I tell colleagues on all the other conferences, the LaRES annual meetings are the one within our sister societies which really perfectly include the industry. You can be proud for this integration of scientist with practitioners. And this participation of the industry within an academic event could also be the catalyst for an even better and broader participation of other countries from Latin America.

Together with your president form LARES, Prof. Dr. Claudio Tavares Alencar, we therefor thought it might make sense to have a panel on transnational real estate investments – the case of Latin America. I would like to extend an invitation to attend the IRES Panels during the conference. It is a honor for me to be part of this panel.

As a member of a sister society you are a member of the IRES as well, and we appreciate your participation in our activities, sharing your ideas and helping IRES mission. IRES last year celebrated it´s 20th anniversary. You find a 20th anniversary monograph edited by our past president Sandy Bond on our website.

Enjoy the conference and the fascinating city of Sao Paolo.
