The inaugural edition of the World Realty Congress (WRC) organised by Plan3Media and the fourth edition of IRECMS ended on a grand note with a record-breaking attendance of over 500 high-quality visitors from over 10 countries. This was the first time the event had a staggering number of international delegates, marking the highest number of attendees ever.
Bringing together the biggest names from the world of real estate, the WRC and IRECMS took place for four days from December 12 to 15, 2023, at the Movenpick Grand Al Bustan, Dubai and had a host of engaging events.
A Bouquet of Affairs
One of the highlights of the conference was the international community tour of the Palm Jumeirah hosted by Nakheel Community Management. The leading community management organisation took international delegates to the iconic spot to help them witness how the Palm is managed behind the scenes.
The WRC and IRECMS also served as a platform for thought leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to discuss the future of the entire real estate eco-system. Events like REM TIMES Realty Confex, IRECMS Conference and IRECMS Masterclasses, and the CAM G10 Summit bridged the gap between different segments of the real estate market and helped facilitate many fruitful discussions.
While some of the points covered at the REM TIMES Realty Confex were the importance of affordable housing amidst luxury real estate boom; global investments and the impact of branded housing sectors, the key themes covered at IRECMS Conference included sustainability, zero tolerance towards collapses, managing luxury properties, role of community management at design level, importance of best governance and compliance in community management, role of AI and Chat GPT in real estate management
The IRECMS Masterclasses trained attendees to strike a fine balance between their personal and professional lives by touching upon topics such as easy ways to manage personal finance; mental health resilience and improving one’s soft skills.
Partnerships and Recognition
The summit proved to be an ideal platform for exhibitors and visitors to secure meetings with key industry professionals from various countries and sectors like developers, brokers, facilities management, community management, property management and proptech. Many exhibitors confirmed their presence for the event in 2024 on the spot!
At the REM TIMES Realty Confex, 12 key industry players were recognised for their contribution to the industry – Sobha Realty, Union Properties, Damac Properties, Ayana Holding, ORO 24 Developments; Magnum Central; ZÄZEN Properties, Fakhruddin Properties, Maysan Properties, ROSHN, Global St. Angelo's Group of Companies, and Innovation Experts Real Estate Institute.
