Two stages in one month: ThinkProp at IPS and LIVEX

At ADRES, I managed ThinkProp's part in two of the year's big real estate shows, both in September 2026. At the International Property Show in Dubai, ThinkProp was a supporting sponsor with three sessions. At LIVEX in Abu Dhabi, it signed an MoU with ADREC for the emirate's new broker licensing course.

The challenge

ThinkProp is ADRES's training arm for real estate professionals. In September 2026 it took part in two of the region's main real estate events: the International Property Show at Dubai World Trade Centre, and LIVEX, Abu Dhabi's first Liveability and Investment Exhibition at ADNEC.

What I did

  1. 01

    Supporting sponsor at IPS 2026

    At IPS 2026, ThinkProp was a supporting sponsor with three sessions: Beyond the License, a panel on international designations with NAR, CCIM, IREM, CAI and ThinkProp; ADEQP, on the Abu Dhabi Engineering Qualification Program; and Listing Smarter, Selling Faster: The Case for MLS, featuring Madhmoun MLS.

    The panel brought together Alireza Memar, Muhammad Jawad, Jean Hanna, Waqar Hasan and Raed Hamze on how international designations build industry knowledge, credibility, ethical practice and long-term career growth.

    A signing on the LIVEX stage

    With Mawaheb and the Abu Dhabi School of Management, ThinkProp signed an MoU with ADREC to support the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Broker Transformation Course. It is the emirate's new mandatory licensing curriculum, and the MoU covers training, ADREC-recognised courses and certification, and applied research.

The outcome

In one month, ThinkProp took part in two of the region's main real estate events. At LIVEX it became one of the partners behind Abu Dhabi's new mandatory licensing curriculum for brokers, which leads to the ADREC Certified Broker credential.
