Live Event for Housing and Real Estate Companies, "Real Estate Summit 2026 in Fukuoka," to be Held on July 14

Branding Technology Inc. (CEO: Yuki Kimura, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Securities Code: 7067) and Trustee Inc. (CEO: Yuji Nakamura, Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi) will jointly hold a live event, "Real Estate Summit 2026 in Fukuoka," for managers and senior practitioners of housing and real estate companies on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka. In recent years, "acquiring sellers" has become an increasingly critical management issue in the housing and real estate industry, driven by the rise in real estate distribution through inheritance and the worsening vacant home problem. Meanwhile, as the need to move away from dependency on portal sites and strengthen branding for customer acquisition grows, traditional sales and marketing methods are becoming insufficient for sustainable growth. Furthermore, due to population decline and regional market changes, companies are strongly required to design strategies on "where and how to win." However, opportunities to share the concrete initiatives and decision-making processes of successful companies are scarce, making it difficult for many managers to find the right approach for their own companies. This background led to the organization of this event. The event will feature three successful executives, including Hiroshi Yoshida (President of SUMiTAS Inc.), who are achieving results in tackling industry challenges such as the expanding inheritance/vacant home market and intensifying competition for seller acquisition. It will offer a place for "learning" and "connection" to find the next move through a talk session delving into specific on-site initiatives and decision-making processes, as well as a networking party. Early bird tickets are available for 8,000 yen (regularly 10,000 yen) for registrations by the end of May. [Event Details and Registration URL] The housing and real estate industry is at a major turning point. Responding to inheritance and vacant home cases and efficiently acquiring sellers are urgent tasks, but sustainable growth is difficult with superficial know-how alone. This event is not just a place for information gathering, but aims to help companies concretize their strategies by hearing the "raw words" of executives who have overcome difficulties and established unique market positions. Held in the vibrant city of Fukuoka, it will create an opportunity for like-minded managers from across the country to gather and pave the way for the future of the industry. Event Outline Part 1: Talk Discussion Seminar (16:00-17:00) The first part will feature a discussion with leading panelists on two main themes. Theme 1: How to Develop the Inheritance & Vacant Home Market and Winning Strategies for Community-Based Real Estate Companies. Theme 2: Insights from the CEO of a 5-billion-yen group operating 68 real estate FC stores nationwide on building an organization and mindset for seller acquisition. Part 2: Buffet Party & Networking (17:00-19:00) After the seminar, a networking party with unlimited drinks will be held at the same venue. Speakers include Hiroshi Yoshida (President, SUMiTAS Inc.), Iori Takagi (President, Shinryo Fudosan Inc.), Yuji Nakamura (President, Trustee Inc.), and Seiya Yoshida (Manager, Branding Technology Inc.).
