Top 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 and digital twins move from pilots to daily workflows, leadership teams must decide which standards to adopt, how to fund platforms over multiple budget cycles, and how to capture measurable gains in productivity, carbon, and risk. Where you pursue those answers matters. These events are where capital meets code—and where international networks, procurement norms, and cultural context shape how decisions actually get made.
Treat them as working sessions and gateways to market entry. The value isn’t a badge wall; it’s the chance to validate your roadmap with buyers, regulators, and delivery partners while learning the nuances that don’t show up in pitch decks—negotiation styles, calendars, language expectations, and the role of government stakeholders. If your 2026 agenda includes decarbonization, cost discipline, data revenue, or international expansion, use this calendar to get into the rooms where standards are set, procurement is clarified, and commercially credible partnerships begin.
Middle East & MENA
Oct 14–15, 2025 • Dubai, UAE
A tightly scoped two-day program that favors specific use cases over broad vision statements. Expect curated matchmaking and cross-border conversations that help teams leave with a shortlist of partners for 90‑day proofs of value—especially around AI for operations, IoT‑led performance, and XR for leasing. Plan time for partner follow-ups in Abu Dhabi or Riyadh later that week; many enterprise buyers in the region stack meetings around Dubai-based events.
Oct 26–27, 2025 • Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Regulators, sovereign investors, developers, and technology leaders engage on governance and procurement—rare alignment for a tech forum. Use this to validate compliance assumptions (hosting, data residency, safety), map decision cadence, and line up regional champions for city‑grade platforms. Bring a one‑pager with localization requirements and security posture—it accelerates enterprise conversations.
Nov 17–20, 2025 • Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
A panoramic read on the Middle East pipeline—from giga-projects to enabling tech—plus the state‑entity roles and timelines that shape how partnerships actually move from conversation to contract. Treat it as a pipeline‑read and relationship builder; schedule site visits or government briefings if you’re pursuing infrastructure‑scale deployments.
Latin America
Jun 1–5, 2026 • Mexico City, Mexico
A pragmatic look at multi‑market implementations across residential, office, logistics, and social infrastructure. Sessions surface localization patterns, public‑private models, and partnership structures resilient to currency swings and cross‑border complexity. If you sell to owners/operators with assets in Chile, Colombia, or Brazil, use Mexico City as a hub to convene regional counterparts and integrators.
Asia–Pacific
Dec 3–4, 2025 • Hong Kong, China
Boardroom‑level dialogues on capital flows, priority asset classes, and enterprise technology adoption from North Asia to Southeast Asia. Expect frank discussions on procurement, data sharing, and local standards; bring translated materials when possible. Add one day pre/post in Singapore or Shenzhen for buyer meetings to extend ROI on the trip.
Europe
Nov 5–6, 2025 • Paris, France
A concentrated European forum where owners, brokers, startups, and investors compare notes on deployment, integration, and measurable outcomes. The marketplace format prioritizes live demos, partner sourcing, and near‑term pilot design—rather than slide decks. Bring explicit adoption KPIs (uptime, savings, carbon) and a 90‑day pilot plan to convert meetings into action.
MIPIM (International Property Market)
Mar 9–13, 2026 • Cannes, France
A broad international marketplace of city pavilions, institutional capital, global developers, and an innovation forum. Treat it as a week of pre‑booked meetings and structured follow‑ups; use the forum to test value propositions with enterprise buyers and public‑sector stakeholders. Schedule morning meetings off‑site for quieter conversations and reserve afternoons for pavilion walk‑throughs and investor check‑ins.
Mar 24–25, 2026 • London, United Kingdom
Balanced exposure to founders, enterprise buyers, and policymakers. Expect practical sessions on procurement frameworks, privacy/security expectations, and integrations—ideal for teams building a European pipeline or preparing for fundraising. Line up customer references in advance; UK buyers often ask for proof points around data protection and interoperability.
TBD 2026 • London, United Kingdom
Momentum from the “Europe 2030” mandate shifts from vision to execution: retrofit finance, data interoperability, and resilience playbooks you can deploy portfolio‑wide. Arrive with a crisp decarbonization ROI model and clarity on integrations (BMS, IWMS, CAFM) to move quickly from interest to pilot.
How We Chose (and how you should, too)
- Enterprise relevance: sessions and exhibitors with real deployment stories—integrations, KPIs, contract models—over hype.
- Cross‑border utility: forums that help you navigate local governance, procurement paths, decision cadence, and data rules.
- Partner density: a high signal‑to‑noise ratio of owners, operators, integrators, investors, and city stakeholders in one place.
- Operational depth: content that advances decarbonization, cost discipline, and data‑driven revenue—not just concept demos.
Mini‑FAQ (for leaders skimming on mobile)
Who should attend?
Product leaders, portfolio operations, sustainability heads, and BD who own pilots, procurement, or integration workstreams.
How many events should we work?
Two to three: one anchor (e.g., MIPIM Cannes) plus one to two regional shows aligned to your pipeline (e.g., LATAM or MENA).
What’s the ideal outcome?
A set of buyer‑validated requirements, two qualified pilot opportunities with exit criteria, and a shortlist of integrators.
Prep Checklist (3 weeks out)
- Lock a meeting target list of 12–15 buyers/integrators; pre‑book slots before agendas fill.
- Draft a 90‑day pilot one‑pager with success metrics (cost, carbon, CX) and security posture.
- Localize materials (terms, data residency notes) and line up one customer reference per region.
- Block 30‑minute internal debriefs the week after the event for decisions and next steps.
Post‑Event Cadence (turn conversations into outcomes)
- Day 1–3: send recap emails with a clear ask and your pilot one‑pager attached.
- Day 7: schedule a scope call; confirm stakeholders, data access, and integration points.
- Day 14: finalize pilot SOW with exit criteria and success metrics; align on a start date.
- Day 30: decision checkpoint—continue, expand, or sunset based on evidence.
Closing: Make it a GTM asset
In 2026, results will be judged on throughput—cost, carbon, and customer experience—and on your capacity to operate globally. Leaders pull ahead by pairing technical delivery with international relationship‑building: understanding local governance, reading negotiation norms, and tailoring product and messaging to each market. The forums above compress that learning into a few well‑planned days.
Use this calendar like a go‑to‑market tool. Set three questions to 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 with discipline. Advantage goes to teams that turn international networking into durable business development—and operating leverage.
