International Property Show

About

Real estate in the Middle East does not stand still, and neither does the event that has shaped the conversation around it for more than two decades. Now in its 22nd edition, the International Property Show is the largest international property sales event in the Middle East, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre and expected to draw over 30,000 investors, developers, government representatives, and industry leaders from across global markets.

IPS is built around a straightforward but powerful idea: that bringing buyers, developers, brokers, financiers, and innovators into the same space for three focused days accelerates decisions that would otherwise take months. The 2026 edition delivers on that promise through five principal pillars. IPS Real Estate presents residential, commercial, and hospitality projects from leading developers. IPS Future Cities focuses on urban planning solutions and sustainable infrastructure. IPS Startups and PropTech shines a light on emerging innovators reshaping the built environment. IPS Design and IPS Services round out a programme that covers the full real estate value chain from concept to transaction.

A comprehensive Finance and Mortgage Zone brings together conventional and Islamic banks, private equity firms, and financing specialists, giving buyers immediate access to the funding solutions they need to act. Dedicated zones for international pavilions open windows into high-potential markets beyond the UAE, while a focused investors, entrepreneurs, and developers platform fosters the kind of strategic alliances and joint ventures that define the sector's next chapter.

The Real Estate Forum runs alongside the exhibition with expert-led discussions on market performance, regulatory developments, and future trends. Specialised conferences including the Institutional Investors Conference and the Women's Conference add further dimension to what is already one of the most content-rich property events in the region.

With 84% of exhibition space secured ahead of opening, IPS 2026 reflects both the appetite of the sector and the enduring value of the platform.
