The 15th edition of Cityscape Global is expected to attract a new wave of real estate investors from across the region, following the success of recent exhibitions in Turkey, Egypt, Abu Dhabi and Qatar.
So far in 2016, the Cityscape portfolio of events has gathered more than 46,000 participants, and feedback from key stakeholders including real estate developers, brokers, architects, government officials and investors indicates that all eyes are now turning to the flagship event as the highlight of the real estate calendar year in the Middle East.
In 2017, the inaugural Cityscape India will be launched at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai on March 2-5, building upon the international expansion of the brand, which now hosts events in Abu Dhabi, Cairo, Doha, Dubai, Istanbul, Jeddah, Kuwait City, and Seoul.
Returning to the Dubai World Trade Centre on Sept. 6-8, Cityscape Global is expected to span across 41,000sqm of exhibition space, featuring new exhibitors showcasing hundreds of project launches.
Tom Rhodes, Exhibition Director, said: “The Cityscape brand is growing globally, which means we are reaching more investors from around the region and beyond and are connecting more real estate buyers with developers and brokers.
“Cityscape Global, meanwhile, continues to be the barometer of the real estate market, with many leading developers using the exhibition as the perfect platform to launch new projects to the market.
“Last year was a resounding success – the largest the event has been in five years, with more than 43,000 participants from 102 countries and two additional halls to accommodate the demand from local, regional and international exhibitors. Our forecasts for this year anticipate a similar response in terms of exhibitor participation and visitor numbers.”
The 15th edition of Cityscape Global, the brand’s crowning flagship event will feature a range of country pavilions, including those dedicated to exhibitors from the UK, Pakistan, and India, a seminar theatre for exhibitors and a number of big-league speakers at the Cityscape Conference. — SG
