Global Media Figure Piers Morgan: I look forward to participating in the Real Estate Future Forum 2026, as it represents a vital platform for the future of global real estate

For the second consecutive year, British broadcaster and internationally influential media figure Piers Morgan will participate in the fifth edition of the Real Estate Future Forum, convening at a critically important moment as Saudi Arabia undergoes a pivotal transformation in its real estate ecosystem.

The Forum serves as a strategic platform bringing together global decision-makers to help redefine the future of real estate investment and ownership, and to advance the sector both locally and internationally.

Morgan praised the work and outcomes of previous editions of the Forum, highlighting the depth and seriousness of the discussions and dialogues held. He noted that the Forum has become a vital platform for leading companies, investors, and experts to connect and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of global real estate.

Commenting on his expectations for the themes and discussions of the fifth edition of the Forum, taking place from 26 to 28 January 2026, under the patronage of His Excellency Majid bin Abdullah Al-Hogail, Minister of Municipalities and Housing, and held under the theme “Expanding Horizons, Thriving Real Estate,” Morgan stated:

“The Real Estate Future Forum will be the first major gathering to mark the launch of the important new law allowing non-Saudis to own real estate in the Kingdom.”

He added: “I was pleased to participate in the fourth edition of the Forum, held in January 2025. It was exceptionally well organized and delivered significant value. For that reason, I decided to return for a second year and look forward to participating in the activities of the Forum’s fifth edition.”

For his part, Mr. Abdullah Al-Harbi, Chief Executive Officer of the Real Estate Future Forum and President of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) – Saudi Arabia, welcomed the participation of the renowned global media figure Piers Morgan in the Forum’s fifth edition. He stated that the participation of senior figures and leaders across real estate, advisory, and media sectors is a clear indicator of the Forum’s success and its growing influence both locally and internationally.

Al-Harbi continued: “The Forum is being held at a time when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing a strategic transformation in real estate ownership and investment regulations. Through its programs and initiatives, the Forum continues to strengthen its position as a leading platform that brings together top decision-makers to shape the future of the global real estate sector.”

He confirmed that all preparations and logistical arrangements have been completed for the Forum’s launch as scheduled, expressing expectations that the Forum’s sessions and activities will attract prominent executive leaders across real estate, investment, and advisory sectors, alongside high-profile figures and leaders from within the Kingdom and abroad.

It is worth noting that the fifth edition of the Real Estate Future Forum is expected to witness participation from prominent international and local leaders, as well as senior figures from both the public and private sectors, particularly in real estate, advisory services, banking, and real estate institutions. The Forum will also bring together specialized experts and consultants across various investment fields.

The Forum is expected to host participants from more than 140 countries and approximately 300 speakers, who will engage in panel discussions, workshops, and lectures addressing key themes related to the real estate ecosystem locally and globally. These themes include supporting the real estate industry, attracting high-quality foreign investment, and examining international experiences and best practices that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the real estate sector.

The Forum holds particular significance as it coincides with the implementation of the updated system allowing non-Saudis to own real estate in the Kingdom, which will come into effect at the beginning of January 2026. This development is expected to play a substantial and positive role in strengthening the real estate sector, supporting market dynamics, guiding investment strategies, and enabling sustainable growth.
