IM Intermoda is held at Expo Guadalajara, with editions in January and July; the January 2027 dates are expected. It is one of Latin America's largest fashion and apparel trade fairs, covering clothing, footwear, accessories, textiles, denim, activewear and private-label sourcing, and drawing brands, manufacturers, wholesalers, boutique buyers and retail chains from across Mexico and the wider region. The show fills Expo Guadalajara's connected halls in the west of the city and generates tens of thousands of professional visits across its run. Because Guadalajara is Mexico's second city and a major manufacturing hub, and because Intermoda draws large buying delegations, hotels near Expo Guadalajara and in the surrounding business districts book out early as buyers seek short transfers to the halls. Rooms fill quickly during show week and rates climb as the dates approach. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from Expo Guadalajara, so you can compare genuinely near-venue hotels rather than guess from a map.
