The half-day event will feature four focused 30-minute panel sessions designed to deliver sharp insights across finance, regulation, development, and brokerage—unfolding critical questions around market dynamics as Dubai’s real estate market remains at record highs.

The agenda will explore whether prices may stabilise in 2026 and beyond, where value lies in off-plan projects, and how technology is redefining the broker’s role in an evolving landscape. Tokenisation—the conversion of property assets into digital tokens—will feature prominently as a transformative trend reshaping investment accessibility across the Gulf.

Confirmed panellists include:

  • Lewis Allsopp, Chairman of Allsopp & Allsopp Group
  • Cherif Sleiman, CFO of Property Finder
  • Ben Crompton, Managing Partner at Crompton Partners
  • Capt. Pradeep Singh of Karma Realty
  • Gregory Lewis, CEO of AirDXB
  • Prathyusha Gurrapu, Head of Research at Cushman & Wakefield Core
  • Rashed Ahmadyar, CEO of Ahmadyar Developments
  • Ali Shahin, Founder of HAS Media (The Real Estate Reports)

The summit arrives at a pivotal moment for the UAE property sector. Recent months have witnessed strong investment flows and significant project announcements, including Sobha Realty’s AED3.5 billion sales milestone and continued infrastructure expansion. Industry observers note that while market fundamentals remain resilient, regulatory frameworks and digital innovation will be critical to sustaining growth.

The summit will also address sustainability considerations, digital transformation, and investment trends shaping the next decade of Gulf real estate. The emergence of crowdfunded property investments demonstrates how technology is democratising access to premium assets, a theme likely to feature in discussions on tokenisation and fractional ownership models.

Registration details: Industry professionals can register to attend via the Gulf Business website. The event is structured to accommodate busy schedules with its half-day format, making it accessible for senior executives and decision-makers across the property sector.

As the UAE enters a new phase of property market evolution, the summit will serve as a platform for stakeholders to debate opportunities and challenges—from regulatory clarity and market pricing to the role of emerging technologies in reshaping real estate investment structures.
