With the global real estate market projected to reach over $4.2 trillion by 2025 and the UAE real estate sector experiencing unprecedented growth driven by technological innovation and shifting demographics, the need for a unified platform to navigate this dynamic landscape has never been greater. World Realty Congress 2024 stands at the forefront of this evolving industry, offering a singular space where the entire ecosystem—spanning property developers, brokers, community managers, facilities managers, and PropTech pioneers—comes together to drive the future of real estate.
Scheduled to be held from December 9 to 13, 2024, at the opulent Palazzo Versace in Dubai, the World Realty Congress isn’t just another industry event — it’s a premier gathering that encapsulates the very essence of real estate excellence.
Why World Realty Congress?
In an industry that is as diverse as it is vital to the global economy, the World Realty Congress serves as a beacon for those who are committed to elevating standards, embracing cutting-edge technologies, and driving sustainable growth. The importance of this congress lies in its ability to bring together the brightest minds to tackle today’s challenges, explore tomorrow’s opportunities, and set new benchmarks for excellence across the globe.
Whether you're a seasoned industry veteran or an emerging disruptor, the World Realty Congress 2024 is your gateway to staying ahead of the curve and shaping the future of real estate.
A Legacy of Excellence - Government Support
Since its inception in 2019, the World Realty Congress has grown into a cornerstone event for the real estate sector, consistently supported by the Dubai Land Department. This year’s congress promises to be the most impactful yet, reflecting Dubai’s evolving real estate landscape and its strategic role on the global stage.
A Stellar Lineup of Keynote Speakers and Panels
This year’s congress features an impressive roster of keynote speakers and panelists, including prominent figures from the property development, brokerage, management, and PropTech sectors such as Rizwan Sajjan, Chairman, Danube Group; Mohamed Amer, Regional Director of Operations, ICC MENA, and Karl Heinz Otto-Mair, CEO of Berkeley Services Group. Attendees can hear industry titans share their expertise on critical topics, including real estate standards in the UAE, the latest technological advances, and the global trends shaping the industry.
“An event like this is much-needed as it is a great congregation of people and industry minds, who complement each other. You cannot have development and real estate without the management sector and vice-versa.”
Atif Rahman, Founder and Chairman of ORO24 Real Estate Development
The week-long event will also witness international delegates taking part in guided community tours, masterclasses, Community Management G10 Summit, conference, and the gala awards night. The congress will offer dedicated tracks focused to dive deep into real estate technology—a sector that is rapidly transforming the way we design, build, manage, and interact with properties.
A key highlight of the event is the World Realty Congress Awards, which celebrate the best in property development, brokerage, community management, facilities management, PropTech, and more. With over 40 categories and a live presentation to the jury, the awards process is renowned for its transparency and integrity. Unlike many industry awards, the World Realty Congress maintains its authenticity by ensuring that sponsors cannot nominate, making it a truly independent and fair competition.
Says Atif Rahman, Founder and Chairman of ORO24 Real Estate Development, “An event like this is much-needed as it is a great congregation of people and industry minds, who complement each other. You cannot have development and real estate without the management sector and vice-versa.” Porush Jhunjhunwala, CEO, Banke, adds, “A lot of industry specialists should attend this event as there is something for everyone to take back.”
CEO's Vision: Inspiring Industry Evolution
“My vision is for this congress to be the epicenter of real estate thought leadership—a place where meaningful ideas are exchanged, partnerships are forged, and the future is shaped. We’re committed to transparency, excellence, and delivering real value to every attendee.”

“The World Realty Congress is more than just an event — it’s a driving force for innovation and excellence in real estate. Our goal has always been to create a platform that unites the entire industry, from developers and brokers, management sector to tech innovators, fostering collaboration and setting new standards,” says Jatin Deepchandani, Founder and CEO of Plan3Media.
