MINT 2008

Real Estate and Tourism Conference, June 19-20, 2008, Cancun

By John Glaab, CIPS

TradEx, Mexico’s largest producer of trade shows, will combine forces with the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR®) to present the fourth annual edition of Mercado Inmobiliario Turistico (MINT), (main event scheduled for June 19-20, but with activities on both the 18th and 21st.) MINT brings together Realtors® and exhibitors from the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Eastern Hemisphere for two days every summer. Last year 1,592 people registered for the event and an additional 355 attended. Almost 3,000 national and international visitors—including members of the international real-estate industry—and trade show exhibitors came from 22 Mexican states as well as Canada, France, Spain, the U.S.A., Costa Rica, Panama, Chile and Peru. Vistors include developers, legal firms, real estate agencies, architectural firms, and other real estate and tourism related industries, in addition to property seekers.

In addition to the exhibits of the Trade Show, there will be an educational component to the event, with classes scheduled the 18th and the 19th. Among those classes that are likely to be the most popular are, “Doing Business in Mexico,” and “Doing Business in the United States,” which have been designed to help agents who receive inquiries and who need to work on co-operative transactions, in Mexico and abroad, with international Realtors®. Also, like all courses, they will be delivered in both English and Spanish. Other courses include one on the components of the Certified International Property Specialist certification program. On the 20th there will be product demonstations by MINT exhibtors, and the 21st will feature property tours

For those who are interested in hosting an exhibit at the trade show, space is still available. Depending on the size of the booth, the cost runs from $2,250 USD to $4,500 USD. As in the case of any trade show, the best locations sell first, so reserve soon!
Dates for MINT: June 18 - 21, 2008
Location: Cancún, Quintana Roo
