Dear FIABCI Members, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is with great excitement and profound honor that I extend my warm welcome to the upcoming 74th FIABCI World Real Estate Congress, hosted by FIABCI-Singapore from May 27-31, 2024. Against the backdrop of Singapore's enchanting cityscape, we are pleased to welcome all industry leaders and visionaries for our annual Congress themed "Real Estate Business in the New Environment."

As the world transitions from pandemic to endemic, Singapore, much like its global counterparts, stands at the forefront of renewing global ties and forging new business connections. The Congress serves as a crucible of knowledge and insight, fostering discussions that transcend borders and embrace the challenges and opportunities of our dynamic era. The theme, "Real Estate Business in the New Environment," underscores the imperative for businesses to adapt and thrive amidst fierce competition and unexpected challenges. This global shift towards a new era demands a profound understanding of the evolving dynamics, prompting a strategic focus on three integral sub-themes.

In contemplating its focus on the Economy, we encourage exploration into the economic intricacies shaping the future of real estate. Conversations will delve into strategies for sustainable growth and resilience in a changing economic panorama, providing a nuanced perspective on navigating challenges and leveraging opportunities. Traversing the dynamic terrain of the evolving marketing landscape will take the center stage as we delve into the complexities of contemporary marketing within the real estate domain. Participants will actively take part in dialogues that revolve around pioneering strategies to connect with and captivate a diverse clientele, mirroring the shifts in consumer behavior and preferences within the industry's ever-changing outlook.

Furthermore, addressing the Professional Real Estate Challenges will serves as a focal point, recognizing the hurdles faced by professionals in the dynamic real estate sector. The Congress aims to equip its attendees with the mental tools required to thrive in the next millennium of real estate business, ensuring a resilient and adaptive industry workforce. Lastly, the recognition of the “crème de la crème” of real estate during the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards and Gala Dinner will undoubtedly serve as a catalyst for industry excellence.

We express our deepest gratitude for your presence and commitment to joining us in Singapore to shaping the future of the real estate business. Together, let us embark on this transformative journey, embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Warm regards,
Budiarsa Sastrawinata
