ULI India Annual Conference 2026

The ULI India Annual Conference 2026, now in its fourth year, serves as an independent forum for reflection and dialogue on the built environment. Organized by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) India, this conference brings together a curated group of senior leaders globally to discuss the evolving geopolitical, technological, and economic systems shaping India's cities and how local leadership, innovation, and governance are responding in turn.

Key topics include India's position amid global fragmentation, shifting supply chains, and demographic realignments; the current investment climate and forces shaping capital flows into India's real estate and urban sectors; local innovation and civic action from clean city initiatives to neighborhood-scale renewal and inclusive public spaces; defining "new downtown" districts for 21st-century India; emerging trends in AI infrastructure, renewable energy, adaptive reuse, new materials, and digital systems; Mumbai's development trajectory; and evolving frameworks in underwriting, ESG, and asset protection in real estate.

The conference offers practical details such as networking opportunities, an expo hall, and notable speakers including Alan Beebe, CEO of ULI Asia Pacific; Alok Saigal, President & Head of Nuvama Private; Anuj Malhotra, Associate Vice President and Head - Master Planner at Navbharat Mega Developers Pvt. Ltd; and Dr. Parag Khanna, Founder of AlphaGeo. Attendees can engage in focused discussions on capital, cities, risk, and innovation that go beyond surface-level trends, hear global voices, Indian leaders, investors, designers, and policymakers in the same room, and leave with clearer thinking, sharper context, and ideas that directly inform decisions across development, investment, and city-making.

The conference is ideal for professionals in the real estate and urban development sectors, including developers, investors, planners, architects, and policymakers. Attending provides an opportunity to gain insights into the future of Indian urbanism, network with industry leaders, and participate in discussions that shape the built environment.
