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.
