World Green Building Week 2026 Dubai

Now in its sixth year, our flagship World Green Building Week event brings together voices from across the built environment to share insights and tackle some of the sector's most pressing challenges. This year, on 16 September in Dubai, we will ask a critical question: how can existing assets be transformed to meet changing occupier expectations while remaining resilient, relevant and commercially competitive?

Through two panel discussions, our speakers will explore how ageing buildings can be repositioned through retrofit, engineering, space planning and operational strategies that enhance user experience, optimise asset performance and unlock long-term value. Join the conversation shaping the future of existing assets and hear first-hand from industry leaders redefining what successful, future-ready buildings look like.
