Dubai will host the 2018 World Real Estate Congress under the theme "Future of Cities".

The event, the 69th, is expected to attract real estate professionals from over 60 countries.

This year’s World Real Estate Congress was held in Panama City, Panama from 21-26 May under the theme ‘Connecting Development for a Better World’. The conference covered affordable housing, real estate opportunities through globalisation, smart cities and international property ethics.

Dubai Business Events (DBE)  in partnership with the Dubai Real Estate Institute (DREI) are hosting the event.

HE Sultan Butti Bin Mejren, director general of Dubai Land Department said the fact that the Emirate has been chosen as the first city in the Middle East to host this event demonstrates how Dubai has emerged as the pre-eminent real estatehub for the region. 

“This World Real Estate Congress 2018 will strengthen Dubai’s economy through attracting business and leisure visitors, and inward investment into the emirate not only from the region, but from across the world, further building towards a continued maturation of the Dubai property market," he said. 

"Today’s announcement also bolsters the Dubai Plan 2021, which aims to build a smart and sustainable city with strong infrastructure capable of supporting economic and social life and contributing to the Emirate’s future growth.”
