Dear LARES Delegates, 

As the President of the International Real Estate Society it is my pleasure to welcome you to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the 14th LARES International Conference. 

The International Real Estate Society (IRES) was established 20 years ago to promote the development of real estate education and research at an international level. It was established at a 1994 American Real Estate Society meeting in Santa Barbara by a group from Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. Formal annual meetings did not start until 1999, when it was decided to support one sister society meeting a year on a rotational basis. 

IRES is the umbrella organisation for the seven regional real estate societies. Strong links have grown between the members of the IRES that include PRRES, and the American (ARES), European (ERES), Asian (AsRES), African (AfRES), Latin American (LaRES) and Middle Eastern and North African (MENARES) Real Estate Societies. 

The mission of the International Real Estate Society is to be a society that: 

  • Facilitates the communication of, and collaboration in, real estate research and education at a global level, 
  • to recognize outstanding service and leadership of its members to recognize outstanding service and leadership of its members.

We will achieve this by: 

  • communicating regularly with all sister societies about global activities, 
  • hosting and updating the IRES website, 
  • supporting emerging societies, 
  • fostering global outreach, 
  • co-supporting one real estate society meeting each year at which IRES awards will be presented, and 
  • providing guidance on best practice approaches for hosting conferences and related functions. 

In addition to the excellent keynote addresses, academic and industry papers containing cutting edge research, three best papers will be awarded during the event.

A special thank you to the conference chair, Professor Dr. Claudio Tavares de Alencar, and the conference committee who have organised a fantastic and exciting conference program.

Enjoy the conference and the city of Rio that is described by Lonely Plant (2014) as:

“Rio de Janeiro, known as the cidade maravilhosa (marvelous city), is nothing if not exhilarating. Flanked by gorgeous mountains, white-sand beaches and verdant rainforests fronting deep blue sea, Rio occupies one of the most spec- tacular settings of any metropolis in the world.”
