Leading global firms in the real estate, PropTech, development, and sustainability sectors will be in Dubai from December 9 to 13 for a landmark event, World Realty Congress 2024, which will consist of a conference and then an award ceremony.

 

It is set to establish critical dialogues around the role of the real estate sector in supporting the UAE’s Vision 2033, which emphasizes innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic growth.

 

As the UAE continues its transformation into a hub for cutting-edge urban development, this congress will serve as a key platform to discuss the integration of green building practices, and focus on delivering actionable outcomes, PropTech advancements, and present sustainable frameworks to foster a collaborative movement within the industry. Industry experts will share insights on the pressing issues and opportunities reshaping real estate, said the organisers.

 

"The UAE’s Vision 2033 lays out an ambitious blueprint for sustainability and innovation in real estate," said Jatin Deepchandani, CEO of Plan3 Media, the event’s organizer. 

 

"The World Realty Congress will not only highlight current trends but also catalyze discussions that will help shape the future of real estate development in the region. Real estate isn’t just an industry - it’s a driver of economic growth, community development, and environmental responsibility. And that’s exactly what this event is going to showcase," he noted.

 

The event will feature panel discussions, masterclasses, and roundtable sessions on pivotal topics such as smart city development, energy efficiency, and investment strategies. PropTech innovations will also be a major focus, offering attendees insights into the tools and technologies redefining real estate practices globally.

 

It has already lined up key speakers, including Michael Belton, CEO of Mered, Madhav Dhar, Co-founder and COO of ZāZEN Properties, Stuart Harrison, CEO of Emrill Services, Hamdan Mohamed Al Kaitob, Head of Property & Community Development at Deeyar, Francis Giani, Chief Community Management Officer at Dubai Holding Community Management, and Imran Farooq, CEO of Samana Group.

 

Sustainability will be woven throughout the five-day event reflecting the UAE’s broader push toward an environmentally responsible future. 

 

"It’s no longer just about adopting sustainable practices - it’s about embedding them into every facet of development," stated Deepchandani. 

 

"We’ll be addressing how developers, investors, and governments can work together to implement sustainable practices that ensure long-term growth, in line with the UAE’s vision for the future," he added.

 

The event will culminate on December 13 with the Awards Gala, where over 312 nominees will compete for recognition across categories celebrating innovation, leadership, and the adoption of future-forward real estate practices, said he organisers. 

 

These awards will honor not just individual achievements but the wider contributions to economic development and community building, they added.-TradeArabia News Service
