Top 10 Global PropTech Events for 2026 (Outside the U.S.)
Real estate’s next phase won’t be defined by splashy demos but by disciplined execution—and the ability to operate across borders. As AI, BIM, and digital twins move from pilots into daily workflows, leadership teams face harder questions: which standards to adopt, how to fund platforms through multiple budget cycles, and how to capture measurable gains in productivity, carbon, and risk. Equally important is *where* you pursue those answers. The gatherings below are where capital meets code, but also where international networks form, local procurement norms surface, and cultural context shapes how decisions actually get made.
Treat these events as working sessions and as gateways to market entry. The value is not a badge wall; it’s the ability to validate your roadmap with buyers, regulators, and delivery partners—while learning the nuances that don’t show up in pitch decks: negotiating styles, holiday calendars, language expectations, and the role of government stakeholders. If your 2026 agenda includes decarbonization, cost discipline, new revenue from data services, or international expansion, use this calendar to get in the rooms where standards are set, procurement pathways are clarified, and commercially credible partnerships begin.
Middle East & MENA
October 14–15, 2025 • 09:00 AM–05:00 PM • Dubai, UAE
A focused two‑day program aimed at moving from ideas to pilots. Sessions are tightly scoped—AI for operations, IoT for asset performance, XR for design and leasing—so teams can surface specific use cases, identify data dependencies, and leave with a shortlist of partners for 90‑day proofs of value. Expect curated matchmaking and cross‑border conversations that speed up BD in the Gulf.
October 26–27, 2025 • Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
This summit brings regulators, sovereign investors, developers, and technology leaders into the same conversation—unusual alignment for a tech conference. Expect candid debate on AI governance, public‑private collaboration, and how smart‑city programs will be procured and monitored across the Gulf. If you’re scaling an enterprise platform or city‑grade solution, this is an efficient venue to test compliance assumptions, map stakeholder incentives, line up regional champions, and understand business etiquette and decision cadence specific to the Gulf.
November 17–20, 2025 • Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Cityscape gives a panoramic view of the Middle East’s pipeline—from giga‑projects and master plans to the enabling tech that underpins delivery and operations. For international teams, it’s a fast way to understand decision‑making cadence, the role of state entities, and how PropTech integrates with design, infrastructure, and mobility initiatives under national transformation agendas—plus the networking protocols and timelines that shape how deals progress in the region.
Latin America
June 1–5, 2026 • Mexico City, Mexico
A comprehensive read on Latin America’s adoption curve across residential, office, logistics, and social infrastructure. Expect pragmatic sessions on localization, public‑private models, and how to structure partnerships that survive currency swings and multi‑market rollouts. You’ll also pick up cultural nuance on contracting practices, municipal engagement, and the integrator ecosystems that actually move implementations.
Asia–Pacific
December 3–4, 2025 • Hong Kong, China
APAC’s boardroom‑level view of where capital, cities, and technology intersect. Alongside the awards program, expect investor dialogues on cross‑border capital flows, priority asset classes, and the risk/return expectations shaping enterprise tech adoption from North Asia to Southeast Asia. It’s also a read on relationship‑driven dealmaking and the etiquette that accelerates—or slows—BD in the region.
March 4–5, 2026 • Sydney, Australia
Built for operators and delivery teams, the program digs into BIM and digital twin workflows, data structures, and interoperability between authoring tools and common data environments. Case studies focus on measurable outcomes—schedule certainty, rework reduction, and embodied‑carbon transparency—making it valuable for teams tasked with execution and regional supplier alignment.
Europe
November 26–27, 2025 • Munich, Germany
A pragmatic cross‑section of BIM, facilities management, and industrialized construction. Expect deep dives on standards, common data environments, and lifecycle handover, with enough practitioner content to help teams translate information models into operational value—and meet German and EU integrators who specialize in enterprise rollouts.
MIPIM (International Property Market)
March 9–13, 2026 • Cannes, France
The industry’s broadest marketplace: city and regional pavilions, institutional investors, global developers, and a dedicated innovation forum. Plan your week around targeted meetings, then use the forum to test value propositions with enterprise buyers. Expect dense international networking—EU and Middle East delegations, North American capital, and city leaders—making it the most efficient setting to convert conversations into structured follow‑ups with capital and public‑sector stakeholders.
March 24–25, 2026 • London, United Kingdom
A balanced mix of founders, enterprise buyers, and policymakers in one venue. Look for practical sessions on procurement frameworks, privacy and security expectations, and integrations—useful for teams building a European pipeline or preparing for fundraising—and plenty of networking with buyers who can green‑light pilots.
June 3–4, 2026 • London, United Kingdom
Hands‑on exposure to robotics, site reality capture, and AI‑assisted workflows, paired with candid implementation talks that de‑risk change management. If your brief is productivity and safety, this is a fast way to separate what’s deployable now from what’s still emerging—while expanding your network of UK contractors and solution partners.
In 2026, results will be judged on throughput—cost, carbon, and customer experience—*and* on a company’s capacity to operate globally. The leaders pulling ahead are the ones pairing technical delivery with international relationship‑building: understanding local governance, reading negotiation norms, and tailoring product and messaging to the expectations of each market. The forums above compress that learning into a few well‑planned days.
Use this calendar like a go‑to‑market asset. Set three questions you must answer in each region, pre‑book meetings with buyers and integrators, and document cultural insights as rigorously as product feedback. Define exit criteria for pilots and partnerships before you land and measure follow‑up rigorously. In a market defined by evidence and efficiency, advantage goes to teams that turn international networking into durable business development—and operating leverage.
