Real Estate Beyond 2021: Innovate and Elevate

Join us at the 2021 Global Symposium to reunite and reconnet with the LeadingRE community and focus on shared opportunities, innovation, growth and success.


We have selected a destination that shares this same spirit of opportunity: Dubai. Dubai is the site of Expo 2020 Dubai – which begins days before the start of our Symposium. Dubai's unique geographic location attracts tremendous wealth and talent to its real estate sector, allowing it to go from an outlier to a trendsetter in just a couple of decades.


Looking beyond Dubai, we will study other global markets as we explore success strategies for today – with an eye on the future and the opportunities we share through the LeadingRE community.
We invite you to join us.


Dubai

Expo 2020 Dubai

After being postponed last year, Expo 2020 Dubai begins just days before the start of our Symposium.


From expo2020dubai.com: We all have the power to build a better world and shape the future. Discover what makes Expo 2020 Dubai unique and how we’re ‘Connecting Minds and Creating the Future’ through sustainability, mobility and opportunity. From organisations to more than 190 participating nations, you’ll be engulfed in unique architecture, culture and inspiring innovations.


For the first time in World Expo history, every participating country will have its own pavilion. Enjoy immersive cultural experiences and discover what makes each country unique as you explore hundreds of pavilions.

Visit Dubai

From visitdubai.com: Once a small fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is today one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. One of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is home to nearly 200 nationalities and offers a truly memorable experience to all visitors.


Whether it is by the banks of the Creek, or at the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Dubai lives and breathes a sense of possibility and innovation. And with an unparalleled coastline, beautiful desert and magnificent cityscapes, memories are just waiting to be made there.

Attire and Cultural Awareness

According to visitdubai.com: Dubai is a cosmopolitan city and a diverse melting pot where almost all attires and cultural expressions are accepted. Dressing conservatively is appreciated in Dubai's historic neighborhoods and places of worship. There are specific requirements for entering a mosque, like wearing clothing that covers shoulders, arms and legs – and headscarves for women. On our Dubai Desert Barbecue, conservative attire is required, including no exposed shoulders and knees. In addition, closed-toe athletic shoes should be worn, and a light wrap for the evening is recommended. Alcohol is served in licensed establishments to those over 21 years of age. However, drunk and disorderly conduct and drunk driving are not acceptable. Suggestions for greetings and useful etiquette tips can also be found on visitdubai.com.
