The African Real Estate Society Conference

September 09, 2025 - September 12, 2025

African Real Estate Society Conference: Shaping Africa’s Property Future

In a continent marked by rapid urbanization, infrastructure growth, and increasing global interest, real estate in Africa is no longer just about land or buildings—it’s about opportunity. The African Real Estate Society Conference (AfRES Conference), hosted this year at the iconic Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria, is more than a professional event—it’s a transformative gathering where ideas, investments, and innovations converge.

Organized by the African Real Estate Society (AfRES), this premier conference brings together a vibrant mix of academics, professionals, developers, investors, and policymakers with a shared goal: to shape the future of real estate across Africa’s diverse and dynamic markets.

AfRES: A Continental Voice in a Global Network

The African Real Estate Society (AfRES) is not just a local organization—it is a proud affiliate of the International Real Estate Society (IRES). This affiliation connects AfRES to a global family of regional societies, including:

ARES (North America)

AsRES (Asia)

ERES (Europe)

PRRES (Pacific Rim)

LaRES (Latin America)

Together, these societies represent a global, nonprofit-driven effort to advance real estate knowledge, research, and professional standards.

AfRES acts as Africa’s voice in this global conversation, promoting research collaboration, educational development, and cross-border investment insights. The annual AfRES Conference serves as the organization’s flagship event, driving this mission forward with tangible impact.

A Conference That Combines Insight, Impact, and Innovation

Set against the backdrop of Lagos a city that mirrors Africa’s energetic rise the AfRES Conference features a robust agenda designed to inform, connect, and inspire. It’s a space where theory meets practice, and regional challenges are addressed through global perspectives.

Attendees can look forward to:

Thought-provoking keynote addresses from global and African real estate leaders

Panel discussions featuring government officials, academics, and corporate executives

Research paper presentations by scholars from top African and international universities

Exhibitor booths showcasing cutting-edge solutions, from PropTech to sustainable construction

Networking sessions designed to spark collaboration and cross-sector partnerships

The program emphasizes both academic rigor and real-world relevance, making it equally valuable for a student researcher as it is for a CEO.

Themes and Topics That Matter

Every year, the AfRES Conference addresses the most pressing themes in the African property sector. In Lagos, the agenda reflects the region’s unique mix of challenges and opportunities—from housing deficits to megacity development, climate resilience, and digital transformation.

Key themes expected at this year’s conference include:

Urbanization and Affordable Housing

Climate Adaptation and Sustainable Building Practices

Technology Integration in Real Estate (PropTech)

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Infrastructure

Real Estate Financing and Investment Vehicles

Property Valuation Standards in Emerging Markets

Legal Frameworks and Land Tenure Systems in Africa

These topics reflect the complexity of doing real estate in Africa, where markets differ not only by country but by city, region, and even neighborhood. The AfRES platform allows for deep contextual analysis, helping professionals make data-driven, culturally sensitive, and economically viable decisions.

Why the African Real Estate Society Conference Stands Out

Unlike many commercial expos or real estate shows, the AfRES Conference is nonprofit-driven and academically rooted. This ensures the content remains unbiased, future-focused, and grounded in research and ethics.

What sets the AfRES Conference apart:

Global perspective, African focus: Part of a worldwide network but tailored for Africa’s realities

Cross-sector diversity: Brings together academia, government, private sector, and civil society

Non-commercial ethos: Focused on thought leadership, not product pushing

Evidence-based dialogue: Emphasizes research-backed insights over sales pitches

Capacity building: Provides valuable training, mentorship, and networking, especially for young professionals

A Platform for Exhibitors and Innovators

The conference also offers a platform for real estate technology providers, construction firms, property developers, legal service providers, and financial institutions to showcase their innovations. Exhibitors benefit from direct access to decision-makers, a targeted audience of industry stakeholders, and the opportunity to demonstrate real-world solutions to pressing sector challenges.

Exhibitor categories typically include:

PropTech and smart building systems

Land and property valuation firms

Green building materials and consultants

Mortgage and housing finance institutions

Legal advisory services

Investment promotion agencies

Real estate development and brokerage companies

With well-organized exhibitor spaces and an engaged audience, the AfRES Conference is a fertile ground for brand exposure and strategic partnerships.

Connecting Academia with Industry: A Rare and Powerful Exchange

One of the standout features of the African Real Estate Society Conference is its academic foundation. Universities and researchers from across Africa and beyond present papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice. These sessions often lead to real-world applications, policy shifts, or even new investment strategies.

Attendees can engage in:

Peer-reviewed research presentations

Panel-led academic debates

Joint industry-academic roundtables

Mentorship sessions for emerging scholars and young professionals

By bringing scholarship to the decision-making table, AfRES promotes a smarter, more informed, and ethically sound real estate industry.

Who Should Attend the AfRES Conference?

The AfRES Conference is intentionally inclusive, attracting a wide spectrum of stakeholders who shape the future of African real estate in different ways.

You should attend if you are:

A real estate developer or investor operating in Africa

A researcher or academic in property, urban planning, or finance

A student exploring a career in real estate

A policy-maker or government official interested in urban development

A technology provider offering solutions for real estate

A financial institution working in housing, mortgages, or infrastructure

A legal professional dealing with land use, tenure, or regulatory frameworks

This diversity of participants ensures rich dialogue, cross-sector learning, and unexpected partnerships.

Join the Movement Driving Africa’s Real Estate Future

The African Real Estate Society Conference is more than a once-a-year gathering it is a movement. It reflects the energy, ambition, and complexity of a continent on the rise, and it offers a professional and intellectual home for those shaping its built environment.

From Lagos to Cape Town, Nairobi to Accra, African cities are growing. The decisions we make today about planning, investment, innovation, and sustainability will shape the lives of millions tomorrow.

The NABE EXPO's Role in a Sustainable Future

As climate concerns, energy needs, and food security challenges grow globally, the sustainable use of aquatic resources becomes more important than ever. The NABE EXPO not only emphasizes environmental stewardship but also illustrates how Nigeria—and Africa more broadly—can lead innovation in the blue economy.
