2025 event recap. IPS Dubai 2025 ran from 14 to 16 April at Dubai World Trade Centre. The event has finished; this article looks back at the exhibition and the questions buyers can take from it.
Dubai Land Department’s closing report recorded 30,720 visitors from 174 countries and more than 300 exhibitors. Those figures describe the exhibition’s attendance and participation. They do not establish demand, rental income or resale prospects for an individual property.
What was on the agenda?
The published conference programme covered property technology, predictive analytics, property management and women’s leadership. It also included discussions about rising costs, supply chains and capital markets.
These subjects matter when you compare homes. A sales presentation might show a rental forecast or an estimate of future value. Before relying on it, check the data behind it. Our guide to using AI to compare Dubai property prices explains what to ask about dates, comparable homes and missing costs.
From an exhibition shortlist to a property decision
A show brings many projects into one place. Your shortlist still needs a closer look after the presentation.
- Compare the location. Use the community guides to narrow the areas that suit your plans, then compare specific buildings and homes.
- Check the payment dates. Read the payment-plan guide before judging an offer by its advertised split.
- Allow for the extras. The buying-cost guide covers charges to consider beyond the price.
- Verify where payments go. For an off-plan purchase, understand the checks covered in our escrow-account guide before sending money.
Keep a dated copy of any offer you want to discuss. Ask for the unit details, full payment schedule and applicable charges in writing. An offer shown at a 2025 exhibition should not be treated as available today without confirmation.
