It will feature more quality speakers and informed content, more breakouts, more networking, more new business opportunities and more exhibitor engagement to help drive your business forward within the region.

Join your fellow industry professionals at the region's only B2B conference for the serviced apartment, branded residence, aparthotel, corporate accommodation and short-term rental sectors.

The MEA region already has a fast-growing hospitality development pipeline with a wide range of projects from local and international developers and operators. The area is rapidly becoming a global hot spot for the serviced apartment, branded residence and extended stay sectors, with activity levels ramping up considerably.

A recent Colliers International report said at least 10,000 additional serviced apartment units were needed to fulfill projected demand in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Serviced Apartment Summit MEA is the response to demand from the industry for a dedicated forum for networking, education and sharing best practice.
