#SKYSUM

Middle East's Leading High Rise & Skyscrapers Event


The skyline of major cities have transformed in the past decade, shedding light on the importance of mega-structures in boosting a city’s profile. Vertical cities have led to urban agglomeration and boosted the urban economy. With Dubai ranked as the second most-prolific city for having completed the most skyscrapers in 2019, the 6th Annual Smart Skyscrapers & Intelligent Retrofit Summit, taking place on 22nd and 23rd November 2023 in Dubai will lay focus on the architectural & economic elements along with sustainable retrofit designs to ensure seamless operations of mega-infrastructures.

In line with UAE’s energy efficient strategy and sustainable development goals, the event will highlight intelligent retrofits for existing high-rises to enable optimal usage of energy and reducing carbon emissions.  Attracting over 400 delegates, this event will be this region’s largest supertall infrastructure conference which will witness leading architects and sustainability experts participate to engage and discuss the strategies and challenges to counter in creating livable urban communities.

Across two days, the conference will host over 40 international and regional experts from government organizations and private sectors to explore the planning, maintenance and impact of high-rises in the region.
