The Africa Real Estate Festival (AREF) is set to take place on April 18-19, 2026, in Accra, Ghana, under the theme "Innovation Meets Identity: Designing Africa’s Next Living Experience." Founded by Desmond Oteng, the festival aims to redefine the real estate landscape in Africa by emphasizing community engagement and sustainable development amid rapid urbanization.
Expected to attract over 1,500 delegates, including policymakers, investors, and industry stakeholders from more than 30 countries, AREF will feature over 100 exhibitors and 50 speakers. The festival seeks to position real estate as a catalyst for economic transformation and cultural expression, generating over $200 million in investment leads.
Key discussions will focus on integrating capital markets and enhancing regulatory transparency within Ghana's real estate sector. The festival will also highlight international participation, with contributions from countries such as Barbados, showcasing lessons in tourism-linked real estate. AREF plans to expand its reach across Africa, promoting urban innovation and fostering cross-sector collaboration in future regional events.
