The event will showcase a curated selection of residential developments from major markets, including Australia, Japan, the Middle East, the United States, and Europe.

Alongside the exhibition, two dedicated conference tracks will cover sustainable property investment, PropTech integration and smart city infrastructure, offering investors expert insights into emerging global trends. Attendees will have direct access to developers and industry experts, fostering valuable networking opportunities and knowledge exchange.
