The real estate investment sector needs an event to connect with international leaders and stakeholders that influence our economy and our lives. And the one time of the year to do so is here! — the Spain Real Estate Summit, to be held in Madrid on 5/6th May 2026.
Iberian Property, in collaboration with CBRE and JLL, brings you this flagship event, which is relevant to all those who invest in real estate in Spain or who are contemplating to do so. It will bring together sector leaders over 2 days, giving everyone the opportunity to learn, share and network in the prestigious and relaxing environment of the La Finca complex in Madrid.
With the institutional support of Invest in Madrid, the Summit strengthens its international relevance as a meeting point for global investors looking to explore and expand their presence in the Spanish market.
This year’s edition will feature innovative and disruptive sessions, designed to inspire forward-thinking debate and
promote fresh perspectives on the opportunities and challenges shaping real estate investment. Participants will have the chance to connect with influential voices, discover emerging trends, and gain a deeper understanding of global dynamics — with key moments reserved to address the American role on the new world order, the impact of a tech revolution on economy and society habits, and the role of REITS as leading investment vehicles in an increased competitive sector.
Parallel sessions will once again be among the most anticipated moments, offering engaging discussions across the key sectors that define the market.
A special gala dinner to enjoy and boost friendships will be held, with the end goal of celebrating major contributions to the sector through the Iberian Property Investment Awards ceremony.
So do not wait, SAVE THE DATE, reserve your place now and be part of this Summit!
Because Spain deserves a stage of its own — a flagship conference dedicated entirely to investment in Spanish real estate.
In a market driven by relationships, shared experience is everything. The Spain Real Estate Summit is built to make that happen — to connect, challenge, and inspire those shaping the sector’s future.
And when the day’s debates end, the conversations continue. The Gala Dinner is not just a celebration — it’s the moment when the industry comes together to honour excellence at the Iberian Property Investment Awards.
Two days. Endless insight. Real connection.
Immerse yourself in strategic debate, inspiring plenary sessions, and interactive parallel discussions designed to provoke thought and spark opportunity.
Don’t just come to listen — come to be heard. Share your ideas, your challenges, your vision. Because this Summit isn’t just about real estate — it’s about shaping what comes next.

What is the most powerful role that Spain can play in a multi-geography real estate portfolio?
