Delegate & Speaker Feedback

What Industry Leaders Say

"The EAPI Summit was an excellent forum for property developers to exchange ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and engage with the future direction of the real estate sector. It brought together a strong mix of developers, investors, consultants, asset managers, and industry leaders, creating meaningful conversations around market growth, professional standards, and long-term value creation. For developers like us, the conference was especially valuable in highlighting the importance of operational excellence, thoughtful asset management, and adapting to changing market expectations. Overall, it was a well-curated and highly relevant event that reinforced the importance of collaboration and innovation in shaping the next phase of property development in the region."

Hooman Ehsani Director of New Developments, Greenhills Investments

"EAPI 2026 brought new faces and a shift of focus towards the institutionalisation of real estate in East Africa. Coming off the back of the recent listing of the ALP USD-denominated REIT, there was a good sense of momentum at the event. CBRE Excellerate and Turner & Townsend were delighted to host the cocktail event. I left EAPI with a slightly larger book of contacts and some interesting leads to pursue. Thank you to the organisers."

Ryan Pape Kenya Country Manager, CBRE Excellerate
