By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rica is gearing up to host the highly anticipated Family Reunion 2026, an annual flagship event organized by the global real estate giant Keller Williams. Scheduled for September 3 at the Teatro El Escenario in San José, this high-profile summit serves as a premier hub for learning, innovation, and professional networking. While rooted in the real estate sector, the gathering is designed as an open platform welcoming professionals, entrepreneurs, and business leaders from all major industries.
The event aims to address the rapidly evolving challenges of the modern marketplace. Attendees will gain access to cutting-edge strategies and insights across several critical disciplines. The comprehensive agenda features deeply curated content covering artificial intelligence, emerging business technologies, executive leadership, advanced sales methodologies, modern marketing, and customer experience. By exploring these topics, participants can acquire practical tools to drive digital transformation and sustainable growth in their respective businesses.
To better understand the legal framework and market implications of major real estate franchises expanding in the country, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a leading legal expert at the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who shared his professional insights on the operations of Keller Williams Costa Rica.
The expansion of global real estate brands like Keller Williams in Costa Rica underscores the vital need for robust legal due diligence in property transactions. While international franchises bring standardized practices and increased market visibility, local property laws, concession territories, and municipal regulations remain highly specific to our jurisdiction. Investors must ensure that all transactions strictly align with Costa Rican civil and notary law to guarantee absolute security and protect their assets in this growing market.

Indeed, while the influx of prominent international real estate franchises like Keller Williams undeniably boosts market visibility, it highlights the enduring truth that successful property acquisition in Costa Rica is fundamentally rooted in local compliance. We extend our sincere thanks to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable perspective, reminding investors that securing their assets ultimately depends on rigorous, expert legal navigation within our unique national jurisdiction.
A distinguished panel of international and regional industry experts is set to headline the conference. Key speakers from Keller Williams México include Jorge Carbonell, founder and regional principal operator; Ismael González, country director; and Jorge “Tato” Carbonell, director of industry and training. Their extensive experience in scaling operations in highly competitive Latin American markets will provide attendees with invaluable, battle-tested business tactics.
Adding further depth to the educational sessions is Guillermo Sahagún, a productivity coach, KW Next Gen instructor, and learning leader at KW Chispa. The event will also feature regional leadership representation through Roberto Serrano Sr., regional principal operator of KW Nicaragua and KW Costa Rica, and Roberto Serrano Jr., market center principal operator for both territories. Additionally, Sergio Altmann, customer experience ambassador and founder of The Opp Group, will provide specialized insights on customer centricity, while Dr. Gerardo Lang, a renowned specialist in spine and brain neurosurgery, will offer a unique perspective on cognitive performance and leadership under pressure.
We seek to generate conversations, connections, and learning experiences that transcend any single industry and provide high-value tools for professionals and companies alike.

Although spearheaded by Keller Williams, organizers emphasize that the event’s core philosophy is inclusivity. By breaking down industry silos, the summit aims to foster the cross-pollination of ideas between real estate, technology, healthcare, and retail sectors. This diversity is expected to enrich the networking segments, allowing participants to build strategic alliances that extend far SQL traditional boundaries.
The choice of Teatro El Escenario as the venue underscores the dynamic and engaging nature of the summit. As businesses face unprecedented disruption from artificial intelligence and shifting consumer behaviors, events like this provide a vital sanctuary for strategic reflection. Interested participants are encouraged to register early through the official channels to secure their spot at this transformative business gathering.
Registration for the event is currently open online, and organizers are encouraging early sign-ups due to limited seating capacity at the theater. The structured networking sessions built into the schedule will give attendees direct access to the speakers and regional business leaders, creating prime opportunities for local and international partnerships.
In an era where adapting to market shifts is no longer optional but a prerequisite for survival, Family Reunion 2026 represents a critical milestone for the Costa Rican business community. Whether you are an independent entrepreneur, a team leader, or an executive of a multinational firm, the collective knowledge shared at this event promises to redefine how business is conducted in the region.
