(Dubai) – Dubai Business Events, the city’s official convention bureau and a division of Dubai Tourism, in partnership with the Dubai Real Estate Institute, DREI, the education arm of the Dubai Land Department, DLD, has announced that the emirate is to host the 69th World Real Estate Congress in 2018.
The annual event, organised by the International Real Estate Federation, FIABCI, will be making its debut in the Middle East with the event, and is expected to attract more than 1,000 real estate professionals from over 60 countries to explore the ‘Future of Cities’.
Jointly led by DBE and DREI, and supported by host venue, Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, among other local industry partners, the successful bid to host another influential world congress underpins Dubai’s strong international reputation as a vibrant and diverse destination for business events. The announcement also boosts the city’s growth as a leading global hub for investment, and contributes towards its maturing real estate market that thrives on innovative developments and a healthy regulatory environment.
The win marks another milestone for DBE in bidding for and bringing leading business events to the emirate, acting as platforms for the exchange of ideas, information and expertise, which is helping transform the city into a global knowledge hub. Having grown into the world’s most cosmopolitan city, and currently implementing one of the most promising smart city agendas in the world, Dubai offers a unique perspective on the ability to effectively drive economic growth and embrace a higher quality of life through smart and efficient initiatives, a pressing need in today’s rapidly urbanising world.
