About LATAM Retail Space Forum

LATAM Retail Space Forum is a real estate conference that took place October 7–8, 2026 at INTEX Osaka in Osaka, Japan. It ran for two days, from Wednesday to Thursday.

Shows like this one typically draw developers, investors, brokers, property managers, city officials and real estate service providers. We have not been able to confirm an official website for this show yet, so contact the organizer before making any plans.

What to expect at LATAM Retail Space Forum

Real estate events focus on deals and relationships. Expect investor meetings, city and project pavilions, and networking events that matter as much as the exhibit floor.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. At events like this, expect most visitors to be developers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for LATAM Retail Space Forum

Most exhibitors start planning four months before a show: booth space and hotels first, then booth services and graphics about eight weeks out, freight and meetings four weeks out, and a final check of devices and staffing the week before.

Preparation tips for real estate shows

• Prepare project summaries with key numbers.
• Book meetings with investors and partners in advance.
• Plan your evening networking schedule as carefully as the booth.

Booth tips for LATAM Retail Space Forum

• Show projects visually with maps, renderings and key figures.
• Ask about investment criteria or project needs.
• Keep a seated area for confidential conversations.
• Walk the hall at INTEX Osaka during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Japan, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
