“We created the World Realty Congress to unite the entire real estate ecosystem, fostering learning, celebration, and
collaboration. It is not just about addressing issues but also embracing the essence of the industry, from celebrating successes

to exploring new frontiers. The overwhelming response to our inaugural edition solidifies our ambition to make the World
Realty Congress the world's foremost real estate conference. Together, we will redefine the industry,” noted Jatin
Deepchandani, CEO of Plan3Media Event Management LLC, the organizer.

Exhibitors, including innovators at the intersection of real estate and emerging disciplines like climate tech, gathered in good
numbers, leveraging the opportunity to engage with professionals from sub-industries such as developers, brokers, facility

managers, community managers, and property consultants. Many exhibitors have confirmed their attendance for the next
edition in 2024, encouraged by the summit’s unique approach to multi stakeholder participation.

REM TIMES Realty Confex added a nuanced dimension to the summit by delving deeper into sub-markets such as affordable
housing and luxury properties in the UAE. It underscored the importance of each such segment for the holistic growth of the
real estate industry and the larger economy. The FDI inflow into the branded housing segment was among the key talking

points. REM Times Realty Confex recognized and felicitated 12 key players, including Union Properties, DAMAC Properties
and Sobha Realty, for their continued valuable contributions to the regional real estate industry.

IRECMS’ reputation for merit-based award culture was on full display at the Gala Night. The glitzy event saw 52 deserving
winners across 26 real estate-centric categories walk away with the prestigious IRECMS Dubai Award 2023. The rigorous

award-selection process involved 28 global expert jury members who, over the course of a few months, spent over 300 hours
assessing 108 presentations on people-centric approaches, value creation, sustainability outcomes, and innovative
operations.

Dubai Community Management and Nakheel Community Management were among the big winners, taking the Gold Award for
the ‘Best Community Management Company of the Year’. As part of the summit, Nakheel Community Management hosted an

‘International Community Tour’ for the global delegation, giving them the rare pleasure of experiencing the behind-the-scenes
management of the landmark Palm Jumeirah. The World Realty Congress is set to return in 2024 with a promise of a bigger
and better agenda and events.
